Provenance

Why this one made the wall

This Falcon is in Excellent condition. It's completely original, with no modifications and no repairs, and it comes with its original Gretsch hardshell case.

This is the '59 Falcon from Gretsch's Vintage Select Edition, built in Japan to the spec of the late-fifties White Falcon. Vintage White nitrocellulose lacquer, gold sparkle binding on the body, neck and f-holes, gold hardware throughout and a thick gold plexi pickguard.

The details follow 1959 too: trestle bracing under an arched laminated maple top, a pair of TV Jones Filter'Tron Classics with Gretsch's Squeezebox capacitors, a three-position master tone switch, and a pinned Space Control bridge ahead of a Bigsby B6G. The maple neck has a standard "U" profile and a 12" radius ebony fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and Neo-Classic thumbnail inlays.

Frequently asked

Questions we get

Do I pay duty or brokerage on a US order?

No. Duty, taxes, brokerage and customs on a US order are handled at our end before the instrument leaves Ottawa. It arrives at your door with nothing to pay.

Orders going anywhere outside Canada and the United States work differently. The shipping and returns policy sets out which is which.

What does the free setup cover?

Every instrument crosses Ian Vance's bench before it ships, and on an online order that setup is free.

What it covers depends on what the guitar needs. Frets, fretboard, hardware, fresh strings, truss rod, action, nut slots, intonation, pickup height and electronics are all part of it, and none of it is an upcharge. The menu above shows the choices you get to make.

Ian's work is described on Repairs and tuning.

What if it is not right when it arrives?

You have 48 hours from the moment it arrives to decide. Email shop@lauzonmusic.com inside that window and we will authorize the return. Nothing comes back unauthorized.

Exchange it for something else and there is no restocking fee, though you cover the shipping on the instrument going back. On a straight refund it is 10% plus the actual shipping both ways.

The full terms are on Shipping and returns.

Can I pay for it over time?

Canadian buyers can pay over time with PayPlan by RBC, chosen as the payment method at checkout. The exact terms come from RBC and are shown to you before you agree to anything.

Financing never changes the price of the guitar. More on Financing.
