Gretsch G6636T-RF Richard Fortus Signature Falcon Center Block with String-Thru Bigsby, Ebony Fingerboard, Vintage White

The Gretsch G6636T-RF Richard Fortus Signature Falcon is a killer blend of classic Falcon style and modern rock reliability. The body features a chambered spruce centre block, reducing feedback while preserving the open tone Gretsch is known for. Finished in Vintage White, this signature Falcon makes a bold visual statement with tortoise binding, tortoise pickup bezels, a tortoise pickguard with gold Gretsch logo, and a tortoise headstock inlay. Nickel hardware completes the clean and elegant aesthetic.

The maple neck sports a Standard "U" profile with an ebony fingerboard, 12" radius, and medium jumbo frets, delivering a smooth playing experience whether you're laying down chords or soaring through solos. The Graph Tech® TUSQ® XL nut and Grover® Rotomatic tuners ensure rock-solid tuning stability.

Tone comes courtesy of custom-wound set of Filter’Tron™ pickups, voiced to offer clarity, warmth, and power — perfect for clean articulation or high-gain drive. A no-load master tone control lets you bypass the tone circuit completely for full pickup output when desired. The master volume has a specially selected treble bleed value to ensure this guitar still chimes with the volume rolled back.

The String-Thru Bigsby® B7CP vibrato tailpiece enhances sustain and tuning reliability, especially when paired with the anchored Adjusto-Matic™ bridge from TonePros®.
