The Gretsch Falcon began was supposed to be nothing more than a marketing stunt. It was a larger-than-life prototype meant to represent the loftiest ideals lutherie, much like the one-off Show Cars that the Big Three automakers would send to automotive trade shows with huge fins and ridiculous, over-the-top opulent design. However, the Falcon generated so much interest when they debuted it at the 1954 NAMM show that they had no choice but to turn their one-off guitar into a production model. It was a huge, luxurious guitar with a larger-than-life personality; in other words, it was the Cadillac of hollowbodies.
Well, if a normal Falcon is the guitar equivalent of a blinged-out Coupe De Ville, our Wildwood Exclusive Falcon Juniors are like Corvettes: sleek, hot-rodded little numbers that carry the pedigree and tradition of the Falcon name with a few high-performance tweaks that give discerning modern players the feel and sound they crave. Let’s take a closer look and see why these jammin’ Juniors get the Wildwood staff so revved up!
