We first restored this guitar, (the oldest we’ve ever restored) in 2008. You’ll notice “WB” adorning the soundboard (done with a school compass?). Her previous owner had the initials “WB”. However “WB” is getting a home loan and sadly has parted with her
So no the oppurtunity falls to you. Super loud and full, it’s hard to believe, but hearing is believing.

I always wanted to own one of these however having never seen a lefty I think I may go to my grave empty handed.
Of course, what is important here is. If I had a Lefty white falcon, what would I wear with it? Coz let’s be honest, you don’t wear this guitar.. it wears you.
OK! enough! Here’s the guff.. beautiful guitar in 9/10 looks like a big beautiful blond because it is.
The guitar world’s Jane Mansfield. Plays like butter with a huge tone. Not much to say really, other than ….wow!!!! in original case

Is it just me or do old semi’s have a much ‘woodier’ acoustic tone?
Which means of course, a much “woodier” electric tone. Everything you need is here. A slim taper neck (rare for a Gretsch) hat fits into the hand real snug and light weight to help on those long gigs. TV Jones filtertrons have been retrofitted however the original ‘G’ brand “hi-lo” pick ups are also included.
We recently re fretted the old girl as the previous owner had plainly loved her so much he’d flattened the old frets to the point where they were barely more the fret markers, but hey! that says a lot about just how good this geetar is… in original case.

Yet another of the fine guitars commissioned to us by the great Andy Dashwood.
The light swamp ash body is beautifully figured and the resonance and sustain is sublime. this is one of the old boy’s faves, thus the TK Smith custom scratch plate and arm rest (the original is also included).
All this and the original Fender tweed case for:

“Craig” lap steel (with a difference)Made in the US of A, the unique feature here is the Pat Pending tilt adjustable neck. A real piece of history. We can tell you that this is a 50’s baby. The addition of a genuine Gretsch roller bridge and pick up gives amazing tone and just look at that Pin striping!
Again the talented hand of Duane Brown (www.browncocustoms.com)
