HIGHLIGHTS

Semi-Arc Bracing

The Synchromatic Falcon features a 2.5” deep maple body with Semi-Arc bracing. A modified version of the classic Gretsch Trestle Bracing design, this bracing pattern features two ’feet’ under the bridge while eliminating the additional feet near the neck block that traditional Trestle Bracing has.

This results in ‘best of both worlds’ tone that provides the huge, resonant tone of Parallel Bracing, with the classic ‘snap’ and feedback-busting sustain of 1959 Trestle Bracing.

Hi-Fidelity Filter’Tron Pickups

The direct-mounted Hi-Fidelity Filter’Tron™ pickups found on the Synchromatic Nashville feature Alnico 5 magnets and deliver the sought after chime, articulation, and balance of vintage Filter’Trons™.

Soft “C” Shaped Maple Neck

The maple neck features a comfortable Soft “C” shape with a beautiful ebony fingerboard, medium jumbo frets, a genuine bone nut, and pearloid Neo-Classic™ thumbnail inlays providing premium playability, sound, and looks.

Premium Used Guitars

Where do they come from?

Most of these guitars were either floor models, last year’s model, production stops or customer returns (perhaps they accidentally got the wrong one). They are like new, premium, many of which have hardly been touched.

Used, Mint?

What is their general condition?

All guitars here are generally in mint condition and have gone through professional testing, cleaning and refurbishing (when needed). If there is any cosmetic wear, it will be clearly disclosed on the individual product pages with details and photos.

IS there a warranty?

Perfect working condition.

These guitars are sold as-is, though in impeccable condition, and returns are not accepted, so we encourage checking them out in person. In some cases, the headstock has been stamped with “USED,” and possibly reassigned a serial number per agreement with the manufacturer to prevent any false warranty claims as if the items were new.
