The G6136T-RR is Rich Robinson's signature Magpie, a Falcon-style hollow body with a solid spruce top on 3-ply maple, 1959-style trestle bracing with a spruce block under the bridge, and oversized F-holes. It's finished in Raven's Breast Blue gloss lacquer with silver sparkle binding, nickel hardware and a silver pickguard carrying the Magpie graphic.
The pickups are a TV Jones Filter'Tron Classic in the bridge and a Broad'Tron BT-65 in the neck, with a volume for each, a master tone and a master volume with a treble bleed circuit. A string-thru Bigsby B6 works with an Adjusto-Matic bridge on a pinned ebony base. The maple neck has a 12" radius ebony board with mother of pearl Neo-Classic thumbnail inlays, a bone nut and Grover Imperial tuners, and the knobs are amber jeweled G-arrows.
For a Falcon with a matched pair of pickups, compare the Professional Collection Falcon with PRO-FT Filter'Trons, or the G6136T-MGC Michael Guy Chislett Signature Falcon with TV Jones TV Classics.
