January 7, 2013, 11 years ago
Legendary THE CULT guitarist Billy Duffy has unveiled his first signature model custom Gretsch White Falcon, which has become "one of the most unique and bewitching guitars ever made," according to a press release.
Says Duffy: "It's not for the fainthearted. It's massive … you can't really play it with any degree of fear. You have to really own the guitar."
A description reads:
Namely its period-correct ’70s Baldwin-era shape and styling, pure White gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish, V-shaped Falcon headstock, Silver Sparkle binding, custom wound hot “Black Top” Filter’Tron pickups with three-point adjustable ’70s-style metal bezels and Duffy’s preferred ’70s-style Bigsby tailpiece.
In addition, Duffy’s signature bird of prey features a 17” wide, 2 ¾” deep single cut-away three-ply maple body with a three-ply maple arched top and back and two spruce parallel tone bars and sound post, a three-piece maple neck with ebony fingerboard, a chrome-plated truss rod cover with Duffy’s signature emblazoned on it, a chrome-plated output jack plate, pearloid wide-block fretboard inlays, ’70s-style aluminum “G” arrow knobs and a premium gray speckled Billy Duffy case.
