    The Gretsch White Falcon is thought to be the cream of the crop by many Gretsch enthusiasts. With it's dazzling looks and graceful tones, the White Falcon can tackle any style imaginable, just look at the wide variety of White Falcon users since the '50s. This all-maple hollow body comes with the 1959 style trestle bracing, which supports the maple top and helps avoid feedback, very useful when paired with a set of High Sensitive Filter'Tron humbuckers. Along with a classic master volume setup, the Gretsch White Falcon 's tonal combinations are quick and easy with an additional 3-way switch for varying degrees of high-frequency rolloff. Shining bright on the body are a gold space control roller bridge and Bigsby Vibrato for very musical pitch bends both up and down. And it wouldn't be a Gretsch White Falcon without the gold sparkle binding, just about everywhere on this guitar from the f-holes to the V-shaped headstock. The unique Gretsch sound is completed by the crisp Ebony fingerboard loaded with Neo-Classic Thumbnail inlays and 22 frets set with a 12" radius.

    I've never played a Gretsch, so I can't speak from experience, but I'm pretty sure the cheaper electromatic Gretschs are still great guitars and would have a similar tone to the white falcon. The reason is a white falcon costs 3k is not necessarily because it actually sounds 4 times better than an $800 Gretsch (don't get me wrong I'm sure it sounds a lot better) but rather because it is a work of art with outstanding craftsmanship (have you ever seen one in person? They're absolutely beautiful)

    First song he plays is Mr Soul by Buffalo Springfield (Neil Young). Great looking and sounding guitar. I am partial to the Black Falcon with TV Jones pickups, but the White Falcon is a classic.

    i've seen many people play fingerstyle, but the way you replicate the attack of a pick and the tone of using your fingers, andy really has perfected finger pickin.

    At 4:15 what riff is that? It sounds also very Frusciante-esque, and if it isn't Frusciante I'd be down with hearing whatever it's from.

  • @Theelectricheads

  • @PeteWojMusic
    @PeteWojMusic 13 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    @trentwalker98 I really think a lot of it boils down to the blackface Fender Deluxe Reverb Reissue. That amp is fantastic at allowing guitars and pedals to sound the way the good Lord intended. I think a lot of amps can have a very focused tone, which is great for that particular sound. But I feel like the Fender Blackfaces do a great job of acting chameleon-like. The Princeton and Vibrolux are very much the same way, just obviously at a different volume.
