![]() It’s also a little bit easier to get Super’Trons to break up, as they are tremendously touch-sensitive. They use steel blades instead of poles, so they have extra inductance, which translates to fuller, punchier tone across the whole harmonic spectrum. The fine people at TV Jones have done a bang-up job of replicating the classic sound of the original 1960s Super’Trons, and we think they give these Falcon Juniors a whole ‘nother flavor of killer Gretsch tone. Speaking of awesome sounds, that brings us to the next most important feature of our Falcon Juniors: their killer TV Jones Super’Tron pickups. As a result, we believe they deliver an incredible playing experience without sacrificing the rich sound Gretsches are known for. Gretsch Falcons really are the Cadillacs of hollowbodies, and, like their vehicular counterparts, Falcons are really big! Our Falcon Juniors still have a big personality, but because they come in a smaller package, they are a little easier on the back, arms, and shoulders. This means that they have slightly more focused, defined tonal character as opposed to the broader sound of the Falcon, but the main effect has to do with ergonomics. Length of body (to end of Bigsby): Junior 21” Regular 21.5”Īs you can see, our Falcon Juniors are about five to ten percent smaller than a normal Falcon in most key areas. The most obvious difference between our Wildwood Exclusive Falcon Juniors is their smaller size after all, we call them Juniors for a reason! To give you an idea of the differences between the two models, here’s a handy-dandy side-by-side comparison of all their various dimensions: Let’s take a closer look and see why these jammin’ Juniors get the Wildwood staff so revved up! Well, if a normal Falcon is the guitar equivalent of a blinged-out Coupe De Ville, our Wildwood Exclusive Falcon Juniors are like Corvettes: sleek, hot-rodded little numbers that carry the pedigree and tradition of the Falcon name with a few high-performance tweaks that give discerning modern players the feel and sound they crave. It was a huge, luxurious guitar with a larger-than-life personality in other words, it was the Cadillac of hollowbodies. However, the Falcon generated so much interest when they debuted it at the 1954 NAMM show that they had no choice but to turn their one-off guitar into a production model. It was a larger-than-life prototype meant to represent the loftiest ideals of lutherie, much like the one-off show cars that the Big Three automakers would send to automotive trade shows with huge fins and ridiculous, over-the-top opulent design. The Gretsch Falcon began was supposed to be nothing more than a marketing stunt. ![]() ***Here is in depth information directly from Wildwood Guitars' original listing***** PLAY AND TRADE GUITARS // PLAY IT and TRADE IT.
