Gretsch G6636TSL Silver Falcon

Brian Setzer didn't single-handedly resurrect rockabilly in the '80s by accident - he had the right weapon for the job. While other players were chasing heavy metal distortion or new wave synthesizers, Setzer understood that sometimes you need to go backward to move forward, armed with the kind of Gretsch magic that built rock and roll in the first place.

This G6636T Silver Falcon carries that same DNA, but with thoughtful modern refinements that address every complaint vintage Gretsch players ever whispered backstage. That chambered spruce center block? It's the engineering solution to feedback problems that plagued earlier hollow-bodies, cutting unwanted howl without sacrificing the woody resonance that makes semi-hollow guitars irreplaceable.

You've heard about Filter'Tron pickups, but experiencing them firsthand reveals why they've remained Gretsch's secret weapon for over sixty years. These High Sensitive versions deliver that legendary "bark and bite" with extra clarity - think of them as the sweet spot between single-coil jangle and humbucker warmth. Whether you're laying down chimey rhythm parts or cutting loose with lead lines that slice through any mix, they respond to your touch with dynamic sensitivity most pickups can only dream about.

That Standard "U" neck shape feels substantial enough for serious grip strength, practically inviting your thumb to wrap over the top for those classic rockabilly chord grips. The ebony fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets provides silky-smooth navigation, while that 12-inch radius strikes the perfect balance for both rhythm work and expressive bending.

The Bigsby B7CP with string-through design eliminates the wrestling match most vibrato systems demand. Simple stringing, smooth operation, and that distinctive swooping voice that turns simple chord progressions into emotional roller coasters.

This isn't just channeling the past - it's proving the past got some things absolutely right.
