Amazing guitar, but just sits there and that is a darn shame. I bought this 2004 model direct from Streetsounds music last year. It came in from a collector as a trade on something else. This guitar is in great condition with barely a scratch on it. It does need a setup though. I believe it has 11's on it right now.

No Gretsch paperwork, but does come with a Gretsch hard case. Has the Gretsch Filtertrons that sound great and standard arm Bigsby (not the thin one that come on some Falcons).

One thing to note (I'm sure you all those this already) is that Gretsch does not make Black Falcons with filtertrons that have the vertical logo and humpback inlays (they only offer this with the dynasonic version) so this one is quite a bit harder to find and in my opinion much nicer looking than the block inlays and horizontal logo.

I will post pics later this evening, but it looks exactly like this one:

Price is $2495 shipped and paypaled. New Falcons go for over $3K and this is pretty much new in my opinion. I will do less for paypal gift or IMT payment

I would consider partial trades for the following plus cash (need to get at least $1000 cash):

Mojave Coyote head Suhr Badger 18 head Might consider other low wattage heads like Reason Bambino or similar No combos please Strat in the $1000-$1200 range (maybe a hot rod?) Cherry SG Cabronita type guitar

People are welcome to throw trade offers at me, but please note that I am only interested in the types of guitars/amps listed above.

Again, I will get actual pics up tonight and you guys will not be disappointed. Thanks for looking.

That would be a PERFECT match for my White Falcon with a couple of mods. I'd be the coolest kid in town if I had a White and Black with vertical logos.

Alas, I am poor and have too many Gretsches already...

Yeah, the vertical logo is the way to go!

In my opinion it ain't a proper Falcon without the vertical logo. The split headstock was designed for it.

Guitar is on hold until wednesday...I will update then

And sold!

Cool! Congrats. Let us know what your replacement will be.
