No kidding. Definitely one of those guitars you want to make sure is your type of liquor before purchasing.

Most definitely beautiful.

Also, think about how badass you'll sound when someone asks you, "What do you play?", and you say, "I rock a Gretsch White Falcon".

Never owned but have played one. I used to want one pretty badly and found a good deal ($1800) on a used one. Played it for a while and got along great with it, but it is just too much bling. I wouldn't feel comfortable gigging or rehearsing with it. Would have to constantly keep it in my sight.

I always wanted to pull the trigger on one also. I remember I could have picked up a late 70's USA made one for like 1700 and I still regret it. I agree though that u should try one before buying cause they aren't for everyone. Also, the gretsch qc can be hit or miss. They look so badass!

I can say that I do in fact rock both a Gretsch Silver Falcon and a Gretsch White Penguin.
Awesome and unique sounding guitars that, visually, force the bass player even further into the background.....

I definitely understand...they're blingin', but I like it

WOW! That's a great price...I'm lookin' to pick one up used probably. I'm in Nashville right now and every music store I've been to has one. I'm probably gonna try to demo one today

You know...I'm not a big fan of the White Penguins...
I don't know why, but it just doesn't have the same effect on me as the White Falcon does.

Well...considering that is my life's goal...I guess I need a White Falcon

It's probably the lack of the Bigsby. I have difficulty understanding why the Penguin doesn't come stock with one.

Love White Falcons here and owned one for a lil over 10 years. Had to sell it many years ago cause the now ex-wife said I owned to many guitars and did not want to move them all when we bought our new home. Damn I hated doing that...
