Manufactured in November 1977, it was the 71st guitar produced that month, as indicated by its serial number 11-7071. During this time, Gretsch had relocated its manufacturing operations from Brooklyn to Arkansas, and the serial number format was updated, moving from the back of the headstock to a black-bordered paper label inside the body, which confirms its USA production.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis 1977 Gretsch White Falcon, model G7593, features several unique design elements that distinguish it from earlier models. Introduced in 1974, this Baldwin-era reissue incorporates black-top Filter’Tron pickups with large bezels, a sharp cut-away on the pickguard, smaller f-holes compared to earlier White Falcons, a plain-face headstock, and a simplified knob layout. These changes reflect Gretsch's evolution under Baldwin ownership while maintaining the classic White Falcon aesthetic and tonal excellence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe vintage tones of this White Falcon are rich and articulate, offering the signature Gretsch clarity with a warm midrange and shimmering highs. The black-top Filter’Tron pickups provide a dynamic and responsive sound, perfect for anything from rockabilly twang to smooth jazz and everything in between. Whether played clean or with overdrive, this guitar delivers a distinct, full-bodied resonance that stands out in any mix.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn well-played condition, this White Falcon shows wear and signs of age, including finish checking across the body, neck, and significant checking on the headstock. The gold hardware exhibits tarnishing, while the sparkle binding remains in good shape. The frets have some wear but still have life left, and the guitar offers low action with excellent playability. The neck is straight, making it a joy to play. The combination of its distinctive design elements and signature Filter’Tron tone makes it a remarkable instrument for those seeking vintage character with a unique historical background. A true statement piece, this guitar embodies the craftsmanship and innovation of Gretsch during the late 1970s.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eComes in its Gretsch OHSC.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eAction at 1st fret: 0.25mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eAction at 12th fret: 1.25mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eNeck depth at 1st fret: 19.96mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eNut Width: 42.18mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003e12 fret width: 52.29mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eWeight: 4.44kg \/ 9.79lb\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eModel: G7593\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYear: 1977\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSerial Number: 11-7071\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBody: Laminated maple\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFinish: White with gold sparkle binding\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNeck: Maple\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFingerboard: Ebony with mother-of-pearl inlays\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePickups: Dual black-top Filter’Tron humbuckers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBridge: Adjusto-Matic with gold-plated original Bigsby vibrato tailpiece\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTuners: Grover Imperial gold-plated\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eScale Length: 25.5\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eControls: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e1 Volume, 1x Toneknob, 1 x Toneswitch, 1 x PU-Selector, 1 x Master Volume\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOrigin: USA\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCase: OHSC\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gretsch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45079392354457,"sku":"25008","price":9995.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0283\/1905\/6012\/files\/1_87a08a59-45b6-4911-bfb1-89664dff7407.png?v=1737427287","url":"https:\/\/www.premierguitars.com.au\/products\/vintage-gretsch-g7593-white-falcon-usa-1977","provider":"Premier Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
