Description

Freshly set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech. this vintage White Falcon is ready to rock. In Very Good vintage condition with modest wear and tear for an instrument of this age but does include minor scratches, dings, hardware tarnishing, and general finish wear. This guitar was definitely well cared for its first 50 years. All original and made in the USA guitar. Comes with a newer TKL hard shell case.

The electronics in this Falcon are very unique. The guitar has stereo output which has one channel for the bass strings (4-6) and one channel for the treble strings (1-3), whereas most stereo guitars assign channels to neck and bridge pickups. To achieve this effect, the Filter'Trons in this guitar have been given not two, but four coils each. This opens up a wealth of possibilities for the creative minded guitarist but does require special stereo instrument cables and/or adaptors.

Whether you want to take advantage of the special circuitry or not, this vintage White Falcon would be a great addition to any player's arsenal. See below for more details and specifications.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:

We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage products as accurately as possible in our listings. Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing.

We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us at the Shop for a complete in-hand description and to answer any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
