Built in Brooklyn, NY, in 1968, it retains all its pre-Baldwin features, except for the new-for-'67 recessed-edge knobs. Everything else is classic White Falcon magic—patent-number Filtertron pickups, a telescoping-arm Gretsch vibrato, and kidney-button Grover Imperial tuners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"548\" data-end=\"682\"\u003eBy 1968, these high-end hollowbodies were falling out of favour, produced in smaller numbers, making them a rare find today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"684\" data-end=\"825\"\u003eDressed in gleaming white with gold sparkle, this big white bird is still one of the most over-the-top stage guitars ever made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1632\" data-end=\"1969\"\u003eThis one has weathered the past 50+ years beautifully. No breaks, repairs, or structural issues. There’s some play wear on the back of the neck, a pickguard crack, and binding rot at the neck heel, but nothing that affects performance. The frets are in good shape, and it plays and sounds absolutely incredible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1971\" data-end=\"2066\"\u003eA rare, eye-catching vintage Gretsch with serious stage presence and killer tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2068\" data-end=\"2128\"\u003eIncludes original Gretsch hard case in good condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2068\" data-end=\"2128\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eAction at 1st fret: 0.5mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eAction at 12th fret: 1.75mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eNeck depth at 1st fret: 21.68mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eNut Width: 43.55mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003e12 fret width: 52.46mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eWeight: 4.38kg \/ 9.66lb\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBody: Thinline hollow body, white finish with gold sparkle trim\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeck: 3-piece maple\/ebony\/maple, bound in gold sparkle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFretboard: Ebony, 21 frets (plus zero fret), neo-classic pearl thumbprint inlays up to the 12th fret, pearl dot inlays beyond, red side dot markers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeadstock: Soft curve design, horizontal Gretsch \"T-roof\" logo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePickups: Original Filtertrons with gold-plated mounting rings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eControls: Gretsch \"arrow thru G\" knobs with ribbed sides\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardware: Gretsch\/Bigsby tailpiece, space control bridge on an adjustable ebony base\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExtras: Two \"muffler\" switches controlling separate muting units (rarely used), original circular white padded cushion on the back\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reemes Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53838815134015,"sku":"RMC-MUS-G78299585","price":6997.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/7535\/9039\/files\/1_24dfe49b-d37f-4b5a-9361-6c6533b86ac0.png?v=1782094772","url":"https:\/\/www.reemesmusic.com\/products\/vintage-gretsch-6136-white-falcon-usa-1968","provider":"Reemes Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
