For Sale: 1998 Gretsch 7594 White Falcon w/ Bigsby & OHSC

Up for sale is a 1998 Gretsch 7594 White Falcon with Bigsby, complete with its original hard-shell case.

This is a beautiful Japanese-made White Falcon from the highly regarded Professional Collection era, built at the Terada factory. These late-’90s Falcons are known for their excellent build quality, vintage-inspired appointments, and the kind of visual presence only a White Falcon can deliver. With its 17" laminated maple body, trestle bracing, ebony fingerboard, dual High Sensitive Filter’Tron pickups, and gold hardware, this is exactly the sort of high-end Gretsch players and collectors look for.

Condition

This guitar is in excellent condition and I would rate it a solid 9/10. It shows light scratches, some dings, and light tarnish to the gold hardware. There is also some checking to the plastic pickup rings, which is very common on Gretsch guitars from this era. The white finish has aged beautifully and gives the guitar a great vintage look. Please review all photos carefully for the most accurate representation of condition.

There are no cracks, breaks, or structural issues. The neck is straight, the frets are in excellent shape, and the guitar plays cleanly up and down the neck with no issues. It has also been recently professionally set up and is ready to go.

The original hard-shell case is included.

Tone & Feel

The White Falcon is one of the most iconic hollowbody guitars ever made, and this one delivers the clear, open, articulate tone players expect from a great Gretsch. The Filter’Trons give it excellent clarity and snap, while the trestle bracing helps tighten up the response and add sustain. It has the big visual presence of a Falcon, but at 8 lbs 8 oz it remains very manageable.
