Guys… I stole a grandpa’s guitar…

[soundchaser]

Congrats. There's only one way to test it.

Brian Setzer would run that cat.
That dude’s unreal live.
He leads that fat orchestra with all the stops & inbetweens.
Adds color and character to his licks..
“Let’s Live It Up” and “Sleepwalk” are glowing examples of this magical ability..kinda
like Bernie put over the top in
The Eagles “Lyon’’ Eyes”., etc.
Get some “She Sells Santusry” & “Aprodisiac Jacket”.. “Peace Frog”… but after a while, that guys licks are rubbish.
Go listen to how he exits a lot of his solo’s.
The fat, dance like drums in the mix really carries his riffs, particularly in those songs.
“Love Removal Machine” is a heavy rip off of the Stones, btw.

I've always thought it would be badass to have one of those.

 

[sondoke]

Nice! Pretty cool of your drummer/partner to hook it up at that price.

 

[LPMojoGL]

Congrats. Would love to have one.

Sooooo… my drummer is the guy I build guitars with (Valkenburg USA). He owns a retail and repair shop as well.

Tells me to come down and he’s got something cool I’d want to check out. He took “it” in on trade for peanuts…

I get there and he shows me this!!!

Has a few bumps and bruises but fook me, I’ve wanted a White Falcon for ages!

Actual model is called “G6136T-59 Vintage Select Edition” $3999 at MF, got it for just above a quarter that price…

I am well pleased!

This sucks. So you stole this and he stole your X88IR?!??!

I still haven’t even opened it yet!! lol!

Billy Duffy says he used to cut up old t-shirts and stuff them inside the guitar to reduce feedback.

Ownership and possession are 98% of having something. The rest is actually using it.

 

[NowYou'rePlayingWithPower]

That's a long model name for a White Falcon.
I need to learn to decode Gretsch's model designations.
I know the T stands for tremelo.
Or is it vibrato?

No shit?

That’s my best guess on the T as well. O my other guess would be to indicate the TV Jones pickups but who knows. I know the VS is “Vintage Spec”

 

[Floyd Eye]

That is a great fucking guitar. Deal of the century there. Congrats.

 

[ZEEGLER]

No shit?

No shit. I guess it reduces the vibration in the hollow body or something. He said he used ripped up old t-shirts, and sometimes small chunks of foam.

I would kill for a White Falcon. I once bought an Epiphone Emperor. I thought it would help reduce my White Falcon GAS. It totally didn't.

 

[Exo-metal]

I would smash that into a thousand pieces for firewood this time of year haha
