G6136TG Falcon Jr. is a model that simultaneously delivers a high level of aesthetics, playability, and sound that matches any genre of music.
In addition to the jeweled control knobs and sparkle binding allowed only on top-of-the-line models, this work of art incorporates the classic look of the vertical logo used until 1957 and thumbnail inlays used since late 1957, plus a special 16 body that can be played comfortably by all players.
The 2.5 thick body and trestle bracing are designed to efficiently resist feedback. The Grover Imperial locking tuners and string-through Bigsby provide easy maintenance, while the classic look and feel of the instrument is enhanced with the 3-way tone switch and a master volume control with treble bleed circuit providing intuitive and smooth sound switching to meet the demands of todays players.
Available in traditional white or modern black, the white version features TV Jones Classic, intended for a vintage sound, and the black version with TV Jones PowerTron for a more powerful tone.
