Gretsch G6636T-RF Richard Fortus Signature Falcon Center Block Guitar w/Bigsby, Vintage White
Richard Fortus, best known for his nearly 20-year tenure with Guns N’ Roses and numerous other projects, is one of the world’s most respected guitarists.
The G6636T-RF Richard Fortus Signature Falcon™ Center Block with String-Thru Bigsby® was developed to fulfill his vision of the ultimate performance guitar. It features a double-cutaway body made of maple, measuring 1.75 inches thick and 17 inches wide, delivering exceptional resonance. A lightweight chambered spruce centre block reinforces the laminated arched top, helping to reduce unwanted feedback—ideal for high-volume, modern stage settings.
With a 25.5" scale length, a maple neck shaped in a comfortable “U” profile, a 12" radius ebony fingerboard, and 22 medium jumbo frets, this guitar offers superb playability for expressive lead work and smooth string bending.
As a versatile and dynamic guitarist, Richard Fortus demands an instrument that can keep up with his musical range.The Custom Wound Filter'Tron™ pickups, placed in the neck and bridge positions, provide the tonal flexibility he needs to shift seamlessly across genres.
The master volume with treble bleed circuit allows for precise volume control without losing high-end clarity, whilethe no-load master tone delivers a natural vintage Filter’Tron tone when turned fully up. The combination of a TonePros® String-thru Bigsby® B6CP and V-Stoptail enables expressive vibrato without compromising tuning stability. A Graph Tech® TUSQ® XL nut minimizes friction between strings and nut for smoother performance.
Finished in elegant Vintage White, the guitar features jewel-style G-arrow knobs, pearloid Neo-Classic™ thumbnail inlays, a headstock logo, tortoise pickguard, pickup bezels, multi-ply binding, and nickel hardware—making it a stage-ready instrument equipped for any musical genre.
