I was finally able to get a White Gretsch Billy Bo. It is beautiful and sounds amazing. Here are a couple pictures. A big thanks to Paul Setzer and Setzer's Signs for his pickguard expertise.

Great looking guitar, congrats!
I initially wasn't sure if I liked BB shape or found it too weird, but arter some time and once hearing it being played as it should, I love it now.
Well done, enjoy it!

The Dead Weather Bo Diddley has the Falcon headstock. That's my dream guitar. My ultimate goal in life however is to sandwich myself between Alison Mosshart and the Bo Diddley White Falcon. Then I could die a happy man...

That Billy Bo is a beautiful guitar. It is one of those guitars you either love or hate. For those that have yet to play one, you are missing out on a fantastic playing and sounding guitar. White is the way to go too.

We could too when we where putting the specs together for that guitar. That was the only thing I wanted that I was told "no" on due to they had to have both Billy Gibbons and Bo Diddley (...who was alive at the time) sign off on it. I found out later after we did the runs that Billy Gibbons didn't even know that these where built. The Falcon style headstock was one of the first details I thought of. They told me, "it's fine, it'll look cool with the standard one". I've been explaining why it doesn't have it ever since...
