Gretsch G6636T-RF Richard Fortus Signature Falcon Vintage White
Met een flink aantal projecten door de jaren heen, met als hoogtepunt een bijna twee decennia durende stint met rock powerhouse Guns N' Roses, is Richard Fortus een van de meest gerespecteerde gitaristen in de wereld.
Gedurende zijn carrière heeft Fortus op Gretsch gitaren gespeeld, met name op Falcons, waardoor hij zijn eigen mening kon vormen over hoe een signature model eruit zou moeten zien.
Net zoals het zwarte model, begint deze Black Falcon met een resonante 1.75"-diepe, 17"-brede double-cutaway maple body met een lichtgewicht spruce center block. Het kenmerk dat deze Falcon's mede onderscheidt van de standaard, zijn de custom wound Filtertron's, wat een hybride is tussen een vintage PAF en de klassieke Filter'Tron tone, wat meer midrange geeft om een vollere toon te krijgen, terwijl het pure rock 'n roll geluid behouden blijft.
Deze Vintage White Falcon bevat een lange 25.5" scale, met een Bigsby B6C en een roller bridge om ervoor te zorgen dat hij helemaal op stemming blijft. Andere kenmerken zijn de old-skool tortoise accenten, de effectieve control lay-out en de betrouwbare Grover mechanieken.
With a good number of projects over the years, culminating in a nearly two-decade stint with rock powerhouse Guns N' Roses, Richard Fortus is one of the most respected guitarists in the world.
Throughout his career, Fortus has played on Gretsch guitars, particularly Falcons, which has allowed him to form his own opinions on what a signature model should look like.
Like the black model, this Black Falcon starts with a resonant 1.75"-deep, 17"-wide double-cutaway maple body with a lightweight spruce center block. The feature that helps set these Falcon's apart from the standard are the custom wound Filtertron's, which is a hybrid between a vintage PAF and the classic Filter'Tron tone, providing more midrange to achieve a fuller tone, while maintaining the pure rock 'n roll sound.
This Vintage White Falcon features a long 25.5" scale, with a Bigsby B6C and roller bridge to make sure it stays completely in tune. Other features include old-skool tortoise accents, an effective control layout, and reliable Grover mechanics.
