1972 Gretsch White Falcon Stereo 7595 Vintage Double Cutaway Guitar w/ Case

Description: Up for sale, a 1972 Gretsch White Falcon Stereo 7595 in exceptional condition and in perfect working order. This rare Baldwin-era White Falcon was at the top of Gretsch’s range, with premium features including a tuning fork bridge, T Zone tempered treble frets, dual string mutes, and stereo functionality (separating the bass and treble strings). Tonewoods include a fully hollow thinline maple body, maple neck, and bound ebony fingerboard, with a lower bout width of 17” and a body depth of 2”. The Filter’Tron pickups have notable clarity, sparkle, and muscle; the neck position is thick and silky, with cutting growl and punch at the bridge. This 7595 is notable for its split stereo pickups (bass/treble), with independent three-way tone selector switches for each, yielding a remarkably wide array of tonal combinations, especially if two amps are used in stereo. This White Falcon weighs 8lbs 9oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 12-53 flatwound strings, low action, and accurate intonation. Neck Specs: -Wood: Maple -Shape: Very slender C, measuring .775” 1st fret, .850” 12th fret -Fretboard: Ebony, “neo-classic” thumbnail inlays up to fret 12 (offset dot up to 21) -Frets: Slender, leveled and crowned, very faint wear on frets 1-2, "Tempered Treble” (fractionally angled forward on treble side beyond fret 12) -Scale Length: 25 1/2” -Nut: 1 11/16”, bone (upgraded) + zero fret -Tuners: Circa 1960s Grover Imperials -Serialization: 112-prefix (November, 1972) Body Specs: -Wood: Maple -Pickups: Filter’Tron x2 -Harness: CTS pots, 1966 source date codes -Controls: System Select (Stereo/Mono/Stereo) switch, Tone switch (three-way) x2, Pickup Selector switch x2, Volume x2, Standby On/Off/On killswitch -Hardware: Bigsby B6G vibrato (replacement arm), “Tuning Fork” Floating Sound Unit, Space Control bridge (ebony base), dual flip-up mute assembly, G arrow knobs -Plastics: Gold plexi pickguard, gold pickup surrounds -Marquetry: Gold sparkle binding (bound f holes and heel cap), white faux leather back pad (gold trim) Outfitted to appear closer to a White Falcon from the early '60s, this guitar features a premium set of genuine vintage Grover Imperials that considerably predate the guitar, along with a more conventional replacement Bigsby arm on the original Bigsby base (eschewing the "Chet" Bigsby arm otherwise used on this model). The gold-plated hardware shows very restrained surface patina, and the bridge position Filter'Tron pickup cover is blank, ostensibly a replacement cover. The “hand-polished” White finish exhibits a bit of scuffing adjacent to the feet of the ebony bridge base, light wear on the body perimeter, and a few small dings and scratches on the body as a whole consistent with decades of careful usage. The neck profile retains its smooth gloss, and the veneer on the headstock face shows some splitting, all stable and glued flush with the headstock face. A vintage (non-original) Gretsch hardshell case is included.
