The Professional Collection combines classic Gretsch sound with modern performance features that deliver an enhanced playing experience. Featuring flagship pickups and electronics, these guitars are designed for powerful sound, total versatility, and exceptional control.
One of the most revered and highly sought after guitars in history, the Gretsch Falcon is a true holy grail instrument. The Professional Falcon model takes it to a whole new level, from its decadent aesthetics to its deep, rich sound, and player-centric features, this big stage performer is ideal for elevating your musical game while making a bold statement.
The all-new Arc-Tone™ bracing is Gretsch's most advanced bracing system to date. Featuring torrefied maple tone bars with arc-shaped spruce support braces located underneath the bridge area, this combination of materials and design provides enhanced sustain, crisp note attack and excellent feedback control while retaining the open voice players expect from a Gretsch hollow body guitar.
A 12"-radius ebony fingerboard with rolled edges and 22 medium jumbo frets tops a 25.5"-scale maple neck with a comfortably familiar standard "U"-shaped profile for smooth playability, while the glow in the dark Luminlay® side dots offer precision fretting in low-light settings.
Featuring an Alnico 2 magnet in the Neck and Alnico 5 magnet in the Bridge, a direct-mounted PRO-FT™ Filter’Tron humbucking pickups deliver authentic Gretsch tone with enhanced punch, projection, and astounding note definition.
