G6136I Bono Irish Falcon Guitar Debuts at NAMM

(Click for a close-up)

Gretsch is using the 2005 Summer NAMM show to announce its recent collaboration with U2 front man, Bono, to create an updated version of the iconic green Gretsch guitar known as the Irish Falcon. Gracing the stages of the current U2 Vertigo tour, the new G6136I guitar incorporates classic Gretsch Falcon appointments, along with a lustrous Irish Green finish.

Built to Bono's own exacting specifications, this single cutaway, 17" hollow body electric guitar features a laminated maple construction, 2-piece maple neck with ebony fingerboard and mother-of-pearl "hump block" position markers. It comes with two high sensitive Filter'Tron pickups, and "tone-switch" circuitry with Master Volume.

Complimenting the Irish Green finish are a gold Cadillac "G" tailpiece, gold hardware, gold sparkle binding, gold Grover Imperial machine heads and a pickguard graphic declaring that "The Goal is Soul"!

US MSRP is $4,500.00, with hardshell case included.
