The White Falcon, a gorgeous representative model, also known as the most beautiful guitar in the world, is now in stock!

And it's not just any White Falcon.

This is a one-off White Falcon built by Senior Master Builder Stephen Stern for a dealer event in 2021, and is now in stock in a miraculous pre-owned condition.

Stephen studied under two of the greatest archtop guitar builders in the world (Jimmy D'Aquisto and Bob Benedetto) and was once considered one of the best archtop guitar builders in the world.

He was a very experienced builder who was at the heart of the Gretsch Custom Shop, but regrettably retired from building.

Now he and his wife are probably traveling the world together.

There were originally many fans among Gretsch collectors, but with his retirement, the number of fans seeking guitars is increasing again, and now is the time to get one!

The traditional look and feel of this guitar will make it a mainstay for many years to come, and it can be used in a wide variety of genres.

The pickups are TV Jones Filtertrons.
The pickups are mounted with TV Jones' Filtertrons, which are the result of their knowledge of many famous artists and vintage Gretsch guitars, as well as the knowledge of TV Jones,

The collaboration of TV Jones, who knows many famous artists and vintage Gretsch, and Stephen, who produces "brand-new vintage" sound.

The front pickup has a mellow sound that takes advantage of the large body.

The center to bridge pickup has a crisp and bouncy sound.

Of course, it is not only about the looks.

The fingerboard is made of beautiful high-quality ebony with thumbnail inlays that stand out due to its simplicity,

The finish is perfect for the beautiful white body.

The body binding is wider than the regular model, which is reminiscent of the vintage style.

The top of the Relic is covered with weather checks, reminding us of the long passage of time.

The gold sparkle laminated binding and jeweled G-arrow knobs with tarnished gold parts make this a glamorous and special piece.

It looks like a real Vintage, and fans will not be able to resist!

The neck is easy to play, and the careful construction makes it suitable for Japanese players.

The shimmering high register and sweet sound of Gretsch will become a habit once you play it.

The hard case is a reissue of Custom Shop's Supreme Guitar Case.

As the name suggests, it was considered the "best" guitar case at the time. It was considered the "best" guitar case at the time, and it has the special attention to detail that only a Custom Shop product can have.

Only the certificate of authenticity is included.

The body is probably faded, but the entire body is beautifully discolored, and the finish is very cool.

The truss rod still has plenty of room to spare, and the frets are not showing any major wear, so it will be ready to play immediately.

It is difficult to determine if the damage is intentional or a relic process, as it was originally a relic process.

There is a mark on the side of the head where the guitar was hung on a hook, which has turned black.

Other than that, there is no noticeable damage, suggesting that the guitar has been carefully cared for.

This is a must have for Gretsch fans of the past, Fender fans, and of course others.

This is one of Stephen's works that are no longer available. If you have been wondering about it, this is the one for you.

With Original hard case, certificate
