For decades, the Gretsch White Falcon has reigned as the ultimate symbol of guitar extravagance. It is a striking masterpiece of design—a massive, sparkling, snow-white canvas trimmed in absolute gold.
Until now.
Gretsch has officially blown the doors open for players everywhere with the Synchromatic™ Falcon™ Hollow Body Single-Cut with Bigsby® in Snowcrest White. Positioned as the premier bridge between accessible pricing and top-tier Professional specifications, this guitar delivers the jaw-dropping looks and unmistakable acoustic voice of a true Falcon without breaking your bank account.
When you pull this guitar out of its case, nobody is going to mistake it for a budget instrument. Gretsch deliberately preserved the exact, high-end visual appointments that make a Falcon a Falcon:
What makes the Synchromatic Falcon an exceptional value isn't just its look—it’s the architectural choices that elevate it far past a typical mid-tier guitar. Gretsch packed this model with several premium specs that are usually reserved for their top-of-the-line instruments:
Most guitars at this accessible price point utilize laurel, rosewood, or synthetic alternative fingerboards. The Synchromatic Falcon proudly features a genuine ebony fingerboard.
This is the secret weapon of the guitar's construction. A modified variation of the famous 1959 Gretsch Trestle bracing, Semi-Arc bracing features support feet situated directly beneath the bridge but eliminates them near the neck joint.
The 25.5-inch scale length provides a tighter, more authoritative string tension under the picking hand. This adds an extra dose of punch to lower string riffs and gives your chords a beautifully crisp, bell-like ring.
A Falcon needs to bark, and it needs to chime.
They feature a brilliant EQ profile that isolates tight, punchy low-end and crystal-clear highs while keeping background hum entirely at bay.
Gretsch made sure this instrument is entirely stage-ready straight out of the box:
If you have always pinned a White Falcon to your gear mood board but couldn't justify the massive financial leap, the Gretsch Synchromatic Falcon in Snowcrest White is your answer. It sacrifices none of the visual swagger, honors the structural legacy of 225-Parsons-era designs, and brings pro-level hardware like an ebony board and Alnico Filter'Trons straight to the working class.
