{"product_id":"gretsch-guitars_240-1409-805","title":"Gretsch Guitars - G7593T Billy Duffy Falcon Guitar","description":"\u003cp\u003eBilly Duffy is not afraid to make a statement, and few things make a bolder statement than Duffy wielding his Gretsch White Falcon under the stage lights with British rock legends The Cult. Duffy burst out of Londons early '80s post-punk scene in Theatre of Hate before meeting Ian Astbury and forming one of rock 'n' rolls most powerful, unique and long-lasting duos as what would become The Cult. Duffy's combination of thick power chords steeped in rich chorused delay, melodic Morricone-inspired lead phrases and filthy feedback-laden solos created an unparalleled sound larger than most venues could contain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cults first two albums, Dreamtime and Love, solidified their place among the pre-\"alternative\" elite, with the latter album featuring what would become their most popular single, \"She Sells Sanctuary\", which remains a global staple on rock radio twenty years on and was even featured on a 2012 Super Bowl advertisement in the States. Every track on those iconic albums featured his Gretsch White Falcon exclusively, and Duffy has made a point to include it on every subsequent album, most notably the chart-topping Electric and Sonic Temple, and their most recent critically acclaimed release Choice of Weapon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is with great pleasure that Gretsch is releasing the G7593T Billy Duffy Falcon guitar, which has immediately become one of the most unique and bewitching White Falcon guitars ever made. Featuring much of what Falcon fans hold dear, Duffy's inimitable guitar has several unique aesthetic differences that separate it from the rest of the \"Falcon\" flock, namely its period-correct '70s Baldwin-era 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 Bigsby tailpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition, Duffy's signature bird of prey features a 17\" wide, 2 \" 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\/walnut\/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. The Gretsch G7593T Billy Duffy Falcon guitar, the tool inspired, designed and built to deliver the ultimate statement of rock 'n' roll nirvana.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBody\u003cbr\u003e\nBody Shape: Falcon\u003cbr\u003e\nBody Back: Arched Maple\u003cbr\u003e\nBody Sides: Maple\u003cbr\u003e\nBody Top: Arched Maple\u003cbr\u003e\nBody Finish: Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003cbr\u003e\nBracing: Parallel Spruce Tone Bars with Sound Post\u003cbr\u003e\nBody Depth: 2-3\/4\" (70mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNeck\u003cbr\u003e\nNumber of Frets: 22 (Plus Zero Fret)\u003cbr\u003e\nFret Size: Medium Jumbo\u003cbr\u003e\nFingerboard Radius: 12\" (305 mm)\u003cbr\u003e\nFretboard: Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\nNeck Material: 3-Piece Maple\/Walnut\/Maple\u003cbr\u003e\nNeck Finish: Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003cbr\u003e\nNut Width: 1.71\" (43.4mm)\u003cbr\u003e\nScale Length: 25.5\" (648 mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eElectronics\u003cbr\u003e\nBridge Pickup: CUSTOM WOUND \"Black Top\" Filter'Tron with Hex Socket Cap Screw Pole Pieces and 3-Point Adjustable '70s Style Metal Bezels\u003cbr\u003e\nNeck Pickup: CUSTOM WOUND \"Black Top\" Filter'Tron with Fillister Head Machine Screw Pole Pieces and 3-Point Adjustable '70s Style Metal Bezels\u003cbr\u003e\nPickup Switching: 3-Position Toggle: Position 1.
