  • Description: Here is a very rare piece. It is a 1960 Gretsch "Project-O-Sonic" White Falcon. After extensive research, I've concluded that less than 12 of these beauties were ever built. I am the third owner. This piece was a special order. First I'll begin with why it is called a Project-O-Sonic. The obvious difference, are the four switches on the bass side horn of the body. The guitar is also wired in a way so you can play the three top strings through one amp, and the three bottom strings through another amp. It comes with the original Gretsch metal splitter box. Mutes work perfectly. The only piece not original on this beauty is the period correct Bigsby tailpiece. The original owner brought it back to Gretsch for a factory Bigsby install. Correct pickup spacing. Also, notice the rare vertical Gretsch logo on the headstock. This beauty is very, very clean. It would make a centerpiece for any collection. Original Gretsch "Cowboy" case included.
