IMPECCABLE CRAFTSMANSHIP The Gretsch Custom Shop is where the time-honored legacy reaches its creative apex. No instruments epitomize the extraordinary expertise and attention to detail of Gretsch’s most trusted hands like Custom Shop instruments. From modern versions of legendary instruments to artist tribute models and specially requested one-off guitars, the Gretsch Custom Shop takes “That Great Gretsch Sound” to an entirely new plane, but also preserves and perfects it.  Truetone Music is proud to have a long and close relationship with Gretsch, especially with the Custom Shop.  Every year, we make a pilgrimage there to cook up a batch of Custom Shop guitars.  Sometimes we go for vintage-styled recreations, sometimes we go for modernized tweaks.  Sometimes it's a classic color, sometimes it's a totally new color or even reclaimed wood.  No matter what we throw at them, they always knock it out of the park! This G6136-CS Black Metallic Falcon is one of the results of this partnership.  It was originally designed with legendary Masterbuilder Stephen Stern, with the intention of creating a guitar that's never been done before.  This one was built by Gonzalo Madrigal, the super talented Masterbuilder who has become quite high in demand.  His work is impecible, and this guitar shows it impressively.  While Black Falcons have been done before, we made this one different by going with Black Metallic for the color, and then choosing Silver Sparkle for the binding and logo.  This matches the chrome hardware nicely and sets this guitar apart (typically, a Falcon with have gold binding and hardware).  The result is a true one of a kind guitar that you won't find elsewhere.  As great as the photos here are, it's even better in person.  The sparkle finish is incredible. We chose a 1959 style Falcon as the base model, and
