Great Guitar

I bought the guitar from an older gentleman who was trying to raise money for a kidney transplant. I have a lot of guitars, this isn't my favorite but it's close to it. It is a very beautiful guitar. It sounds very beautiful with or without an amp. I can't believe how inexpensive it is. Trust me you can't go wrong with this guitar. It's feel while playing is nice it fits well into… read more your hands. The electronics sound really good. I'm playing mine through a Marshall acoustic amp. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this guitar.

Falcon yeah!

What a beautiful piece. Fit and finish are terrific. Very comfortable slim neck. Plays more like an electric. Nothing like that iconic Gretsch Falcon headstock! Thrilled to have it as part of my collection. Thanks to Sweetwater and Corey Elliott for the exceptional service I always receive.

Plays and Sounds sooooo Fine...

I normally don't buy any instrument before I set down and play it first.. I've been re-searching this guitar for most of a year. I've been an active player, singer and song writer for over 50 years.. When re-searching I was looking at active musicians that utilized this particular guitar when gigging. To my surprise I found quite a few.. Never saw one bad review, and farther more… read more nothing under 5 stars... ever! I've played Martins, Taylors, Breedlove's, Seagulls, Tacoma's or anything that tickles my fancy when in a music shop.. I could never understand why some high end luthiers could charge so much for inferior sounding guitars.. With pick in hand I can stroll down a line of acoustic guitars with a slight strum across the strings and tell you if it was worth the asking price... Ask some of my students who have invited me to come along with them to pick out their first guitar. They still play them... and better than High paid baseball players who are good at 400... I'm batting a 1000 But enough of my experiences and my hats off to the Gretsch G5022CWFE Rancher Falcon... As my years advance I started looking for a guitar that would not only fit my needs for sound, weather for acoustic or electric or clean or dirty... I needed a instrument that could do all that and still have mercy on my aging fingers and hand... And I found it with this guitar and that's fore-sure! As I said before I looked at active musicians who utilized this instrument. I read one review that described this guitar as "It plays like butter" and another review that said "it sound goods and full even unplugged". I re-searched again and again, about driving my bride of 47 years a little nuts!... But she loves me.. So sight unseen I called Sweetwater talked with Eric a sales rep, who quickly became a friend... Professional from top to bottom, with knowledge and respect for a friend not just a customer... I will utilize Sweetwater in the future for all my musical fixes,.. I mean needs.. LOL... Someone once asked me "How many guitars do you have?" I respond. With Sweetwater a phone call away the sky the limit.. PS I play all my guitars and other stringed instruments, one at a time... How Sweeeeeeetwater... Michael James Buck

Thank you Sweetwater!

I've always loved the look of the Gretsch White Falcon electric but was in the market for a budget range but good sounding+playing acoustic at my local GS when I happened upon a used one that played like butter! It was literally the best playing acoustic guitar I could ever remember playing and by far the best of the dozen or so I played of the rack that afternoon. Unfortunately… read more it had not been taken care of and I take good care of mine- So, I contacted Ryan Murray my Sweetwater Rep over many years and many satisfied purchases. I told him about my experience and asked him if he could have his team find me one and set it up to the secifications I wanted which was basically a jumbo acoustic guitar that played like an electric solid body as far as the fretboard action. Ryan did an amazing job of communicating the string gauge and set-up parameters I wanted and the result was the guitar played flawlessly when I finally received it! Very Happy! Besides the set-up I love the big boomy sound of a jumbo guitar and I also like the onboard electronics including the easy tuning feature. I purchased a Gator Hard Case and everything fits nice and tight as I like to store my guitars using Humdipak's when not playing them. I am now ready to sell the two Taylor and one Yamaha acoustics I have had until now, knowing that I will be perfectly happy with just this one! Thanks again to the entire Sweetwater Team!
