With the exception of the new-for-'67 recessed-edge knobs, this guitar still sports all \"pre-Baldwin\" features, including twin patent-number Filter'tron pickups, telescoping-arm Gretsch vibrato, and \"Kidney button\" Grover Imperial tuners. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile never made in large quantities, these very expensive buxom Mae West-like hollowbodies were falling out of favor by 1968 and are quite rare guitars. Resplendant in gleaming white festooned with gold sparkle, this 6-string fretted burlesque queen is still hard to beat for over-the-top flash.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 44 1\/4 in. (112.4 cm.), 17 in. (43.2 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 1 7\/8 in. (4.8 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 25 1\/2 in. (648 mm.). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExcellent, all original condition. Some minor neck wear and one repaired pickguard crack, otherwise no issues to speak of. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA great-sounding Gretsch and seemingly, in spite of the dreaded \"tuning fork\" bridge setup, a great playing one as well. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncludes excellent original case.","brand":"Gretsch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46853179146380,"sku":"3088","price":9500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/8702\/3756\/files\/01_d5b5b2e5-9441-442c-b53d-a64ad388fe29.jpg?v=1774331721","url":"https:\/\/retrofret.com\/products\/gretsch-white-falcon-thinline-hollow-body-electric-guitar-1968-3088","provider":"RetroFret","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
