HIGHLIGHTS:
Semi-Arc Bracing
The Synchromatic Falcon features a 2.5” deep maple body with Semi-Arc bracing. A modified version of the classic Gretsch Trestle Bracing design, this bracing pattern features two ’feet’ under the bridge while eliminating the additional feet near the neck block that traditional Trestle Bracing has. This results in ‘best of both worlds’ tone that provides the huge, resonant tone of Parallel Bracing, with the classic ‘snap’ and feedback-busting sustain of 1959 Trestle Bracing.Hi-Fidelity Filter’Tron Pickups
The direct-mounted Hi-Fidelity Filter’Tron™ pickups found on the Synchromatic Nashville feature Alnico 5 magnets and deliver the sought after chime, articulation, and balance of vintage Filter’Trons™.Soft “C” Shaped Maple Neck
The maple neck features a comfortable Soft “C” shape with a beautiful ebony fingerboard, medium jumbo frets, a genuine bone nut, and pearloid Neo-Classic™ thumbnail inlays providing premium playability, sound, and looks.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCd1mCszYNE
