“He said, ‘If you got in the band, what would you do?’ I said, ‘I always wanted a White Falcon.’ Everything I owned, I put into that”: Billy Duffy spent his life savings on his first Gretsch – now he’s got a signature model to mark 40 years of The Cult

Gretsch has partnered with The Cult’s Billy Duffy to produce a new Falcon signature guitar in celebration of the band’s 40th Anniversary.

First officially anointed The Cult in 1984 (after performing under the Death Cult moniker for a year prior) the group have long been established as one of the UK’s most successful gothic rock exports.
