It's a Gretsch White Falcon shootout! Jim has got his hands on the Gretsch G6136T-59GE Vintage Select model and the G6636T Players Edition w/ centre block. Complete with full tone test, close up details and summary. Only one guitar can come out on top, which do you prefer?
First, the original. The Vintage Select model stays traditional to its roots, single cut away, hollow body design with the Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer finish, gold vintage style Grover tuners, gold sparkle binding it just screams '59 White Falcon.
It really does look the part and it sure as hell sounds it too! The G6136T-59 is loaded with two TV Jones Classic pickups (see a full tonal run down in the video!) which sound incredible, especially being overdriven and fired out of a tube amp, volume on 11!
Now, a purest will tell you "You can't have a double cut away White Falcon" but we say, give the kid a chance! Aside from the obvious difference in the body (double cut away) it has a laminated maple body, a gloss white finish, gold Grover imperial locking tuners, two High Sensitive Filter'Tron pickups and of course a centre block. Not a bad start...
The G6636T is easy on the eye too, featuring pearloid inlays, 'Jewelled G-Arrow' control knobs, gold sparkle large Gretsch logo head stock and of course a gold plated bigsby.
For the full run down make sure you check out the video where we show off both these gorgeous axes in all their glory.
