Love it!

Seafoam Green and gold do not go together. And what about that guitar is New Old Stock?

 

[Chad]

Chris Isaak could pull that off, I couldn't.

That thing is sicker than Ebola! In a good way.

At a glance I always love Gretsches, but when I look closely I rarely do.
Pass.

All the Gretsches that come out of the Fender Custom Shop are crazy expensive.

I think with silver sparkle binding and silver hardware, it would be perfect.

 

[CBHScott]

Yeah, that color looks not so good. Otherwise, hotter than fresh road apples on a George Foreman grill.

That’s a tough combination of colors to pull off, but they made it work fabulously.

Crazy hot! And Dynasonics FTW.

This, but I still think it is hot.

 

[Stratguy]

I think it looks cool, but I would still prefer the White Falcon.

 

[Coralkong]

Not really digging this one.

I gotta try some Dynasonics some day.

 

[GreatDane]

that color combo wouldn't be my first choice, but it's hot nonetheless and i would totally play that if i had the chance.

I'm not usually a big fan of Gretsch Falcons (I find them to be a bit over the top with the bling factor), but this one looks pretty cool to me.

F.Y.I. - while it's listed as being baed on a '59 Falcon, it's only loosely based upon one IMO. It has Dynasonic pickups (which Gretsch quit using at the end of 1957), and has a Melita bridge (I don't think any Gretsches were using Melitas by 1959).

He's have to change suits. Too much sea foam is a no-no.

Anyone remember this video? Daaaamn, she was hot!
