Whether you’re performing on stage or recording in the studio, the Falcon Center Block LTD provides a dynamic playing experience with its standard “U” maple neck, ebony fingerboard, and medium jumbo frets. The versatile control layout with individual volume knobs for each pickup, master volume, and tone control alongside a 3-position toggle switch allows you to sculpt your tone with precision. This guitar is a perfect choice for players seeking a premium semi-hollow instrument that honours Gretsch’s heritage while embracing contemporary demands.
