Billy Duffy is not afraid to make a statement, and few things make a bolder statement than Duffy wielding his Gretsch White Falcon under the stage lights with British rock legends The Cult. Duffy burst out of Londons early 80s post-punk scene in Theatre of Hate before meeting Ian Astbury and forming one of rock n rolls most powerful, unique and long-lasting duosThe Cult. Duffys combination of thick power chords steeped in rich chorused delay, melodic Morricone-inspired lead phrases and filthy feedback-laden solos created an unparalleled sound larger than most venues could contain. The Cults first two albums,DreamtimeandLove, solidified their place among the pre-alternative elite, with the latter album featuring what would become their most popular single, She Sells Sanctuary, which remains a global staple on rock radio more than 30 years later and was featured on a 2012 Super Bowl advertisement. Every track on those iconic albums exclusively featured his Gretsch White Falcon, and Duffy has made a point to include it on every subsequent album, most notably the chart-toppingElectricandSonic Temple, and their 2012 critically acclaimed releaseChoice of Weapon.

It is with great pleasure that Gretsch released the G7593T Billy Duffy Falcon guitar, which has immediately become one of the most unique and bewitching White Falcon guitars ever made. Featuring much of what Falcon fans hold dear, Duffys inimitable guitar has several unique aesthetic differences separating it from the rest of the Falcon flockits period-correct 70s Baldwin-era styling, gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish, V-shaped Falcon headstock, Silver Sparkle binding, custom wound hot Black Top FilterTron humbucking pickups with three-point adjustable 70s-style metal bezels and Duffys preferred Bigsby tailpiece.

In addition, Duffys signature bird of prey features a 17 wide, 2 deep single-cutaway three-ply maple body with a three-ply maple arched top and back and two spruce parallel tone bars and sound post, a three-piece maple/walnut/maple neck with ebony fingerboard, a chrome-plated truss rod cover with Duffys signature emblazoned on it, a chrome-plated output jack plate, pearloid wide-block fretboard inlays, 70s-style aluminum G-arrow knobs and a premium gray speckled Billy Duffy case. The Gretsch G7593T Billy Duffy Falcon guitar is the tool inspired, designed and built to deliver the ultimate statement of rock n roll nirvana.

Includes a hardshell case.
