Overview

An electric guitar with bold tones and a stunning quilted top.

The Limited-Edition Gretsch Quilt Top Falcon Jr. electric guitar merges timeless elegance with modern innovation, delivering a compact version of Gretsch's iconic Falcon design. Featuring a stunning quilted maple top paired with mahogany back and sides, this model offers a rich visual appeal complemented by its dynamic tonal character. The redesigned Channel Core center block, made from maple and spruce, enhances midrange punch and sustain while reducing feedback. Equipped with TV Jones TV Classic and Classic Plus pickups, this instrument offers the unmistakable Filter'Tron sparkle and growl. Complete with a string-thru Bigsby B3GP vibrato tailpiece and Adjusto-Matic bridge for exceptional tuning stability, the Falcon Jr. is a unique blend of tradition and innovation.

TV Jones Pickups Deliver Iconic Gretsch Filter'Tron Tone

At the heart of this guitar are its TV Jones TV Classic and Classic Plus pickups, providing the shimmering highs and tight lows that define the legendary Filter'Tron sound. The TV Classic in the neck position offers clear, articulate tones ideal for rhythm work, while the Classic Plus in the bridge delivers a hotter output for lead playing with added punch and growl. The 3-position toggle switch allows seamless transitions between pickups, while individual volume controls and a master tone knob provide precise tonal shaping. These pickups ensure that every note is rich with harmonic detail and vintage-inspired clarity, making the Falcon Jr. a powerhouse for dynamic performance.

Redesigned Channel Core Center Block for Enhanced Resonance

The Falcon Jr. features Gretsch's innovative Channel Core center block, crafted from maple and spruce to optimize tonal balance and sustain. This design reduces unwanted feedback during high-gain performances while retaining the warmth and resonance of a semi-hollow body. The compact center block improves attack and midrange projection, making the instrument suitable for intricate leads and robust chords alike. Paired with its quilted maple top, the body construction ensures a responsive and balanced tone that resonates beautifully across all playing styles. This thoughtful engineering guarantees a dynamic and controlled sound, even at high volumes.

Bigsby Tailpiece for Expressive Vibrato

The string-thru Bigsby B3GP vibrato tailpiece offers smooth and reliable pitch modulation, adding an expressive dimension to your playing. Its string-thru design simplifies restringing while improving tuning stability and sustain. Paired with the Adjusto-Matic bridge on a pinned ebony base, this setup ensures precise intonation and secure string anchoring. Whether you're crafting subtle vibrato or dramatic bends, the Bigsby provides effortless control and a classic aesthetic that complements the Falcon Jr.'s iconic design. This hardware combination enhances the guitar's tonal performance while maintaining its unmistakable vintage appeal.

Standard U Shape Neck, Ebony Fingerboard, Medium Jumbo Frets

Built with top-tier materials, the Falcon Jr. is designed for durability and precision. Its mahogany neck features a standard U profile for a comfortable grip, while the ebony fingerboard with medium jumbo frets ensures smooth navigation across the fretboard. Luminlay side dots provide visibility in low-light environments, and the Graph Tech TUSQ XL nut enhances tuning stability. Gold hardware, including Grover Imperial locking tuners and strap locks, adds a touch of luxury while ensuring reliable performance. This attention to detail makes the Falcon Jr. a dependable and visually stunning instrument for years to come.

A Compact Take on a Classic Design

The Gretsch Limited-Edition Quilt Top Falcon Jr. electric guitar delivers the iconic Gretsch tone and style in a scaled-down body, perfect for gigging musicians or collectors seeking a unique instrument.
