"Some players may bemoan its Chinese origin, but if it looks like a Falcon, plays like a Falcon, and squawks like a Falcon, it must be a Falcon": Gretsch Synchromatic Falcon review

Gretsch Synchromatic Falcon.

What is it?

Gibson has the Les Paul, Fender has the Strat, and when you think of Gretsch guitars, it’s hard not to picture the iconic (usually) White Falcon as the quintessential guitar that defines this legendary brand. Billy Duffy from The Cult wields this beloved instrument to conjure up Lil' Devils on stage every night, it helped John Frusciante dream of Californication and even got some serious screen time around Dave Grohl's neck in the classic Foo Fighters video for Monkey Wrench.
