Gretsch guitars announce Limited Edition Orville Peck Falcon

Orville Peck Falcon
Words by Mixdown staff

Coming hot off the heels of Peck’s latest album, ‘Stampede: Vol. 1’, the guitar captures his true iconoclast spirit with mid-century swagger, offering incredible tone, exceptional playability, and a vibe that manages to be both fresh and classic at the same time.

Last week, Gretsch announced the all-new Limited Edition Orville Peck FalconTM, honouring the groundbreaking country star with his first ever signature guitar.

Stand-out features on this model include:

  • Maple body with ML bracing and a standard “U” shaped maple neck with 25.5” scale length
  • 12”-radius streaked ebony fingerboard with rolled edges, Luminlay side dots, 22 medium jumbo frets, and aged pearloid Humpblock inlays with custom artwork
  • FT-67 Filter’Tron™ pickups with gold sparkle inserts
  • Adjusto-Matic™ bridge with pinned ebony base
  • Bigsby® B6GP String-Thru vibrato tailpiece
  • Oro Sparkle finish, with a gold plexi pickguard with custom artwork

A fitting tribute to a boundary-pushing visionary, the Limited Edition Orville Peck FalconTM offers incredible tone, perfect for any genre, and a vibe that manages to be both fresh and classic at the same time. It features a comfortable 2.5″-deep maple body with the innovative Gretsch “ML” bracing that delivers a huge hollow body sound with exceptional clarity and acoustic nuance. A 12″-radius streaked ebony fingerboard with rolled edges and 22 medium jumbo frets tops a 25.5″-scale maple neck with a comfortably familiar standard “U”-shaped profile for fluidly easy playing, while Luminlay® side dots offer precision fretting in low-light settings. Powered by the all-new FT-67 Filter’Tron™ humbucking pickups, which were designed to capture authentic vintage Gretsch voicing but with a more well-rounded tone for modern playing styles, the Limited Edition Orville Peck FalconTM provides open and pristine top-end chime, glassy midrange, robust low end, and balanced harmonics for tone that blends seamlessly with other instruments. Elsewhere, the Bigsby® B6GP String-Thru vibrato tailpiece makes it quicker (and easier) to change strings, and provides increased vibration transfer for enhanced sustain, whilst exclusive western-themed artwork by Judith Rothman Pierce of RoseCut Clothing on the gold plexi pickguard and aged pearloid Humpblock fingerboard inlays adds a distinctive style.
