Got my finger on the trigger and it's gettin' itchy...

Yup. Those are beautiful guitars. I would love to have one but I'm not paying that much for one. I don't want it THAT bad.

You’ve come to the right place.

Pictures or it didn’t happen.

Never die wondering.

We are all getting older, the clock doesn't stop ticking. If you can afford it, or even if you cant, get it.

Then you will know.

If you need the money or if you don't like it you can always sell it.

Life is short, enjoy it while you can. ( and tell us about it ! )

I play in a group with a bloke, older than me, who says the same sort of thing "If you want it, buy it. You can always sell it. It's not a big issue"

HTH

It's a done deal. White Falcon on order. Pics will follow.   I pushed the button and no sign of any kind of emotional reaction was felt. I did not opt for the fancy 300 dollar set up that was done on my SG (was worth it, by the way). White Falcon made in Japan. If a proper set up can't be achieved between the Terada Factory and Sweetwater, it'll get bounced back. I don't expect any problems. Should be here Tuesday or Wednesday. Oh,>

Here is the exact one that's being sent to me: OPEN OPEN OPEN A preview and as you know, Sweetwater always sends you the pics they used in the ad.
I make my own pics so you know that it DID happen.

Did you get a discount for the scratch on the lower bout of the backside?





Hah! Made you look😄


Enjoy the beautiful guitar, I'm sure it's the pinnacle of Gretchy goodness.

Word is I'll have it by this Thursday. A little disappointing since my guy at Sweetwater said I'd have it by Tuesday. No big deal. I'm guessing Wednesday. Should have started a 'pool'.

After letting the guitar acclimate I know how that'd go if it were me.


Amp on "loud", E chord, Krrrrang, wobble-wobble!

😎

I don’t see a photo ☹️

Ah, you got the good stuff in the second photo and they gave you a free guitar too! Congrats

To me, it's very gratifying to fulfill a goal set the first time I saw one of these back in '66. I had no idea it would ever come to pass. "Some day I'll have one these". I don't know how many times I've said that about a lot of things I've put a check mark against. Many of those have been answered as well but, somehow this one is more special. OK, enough of the syrupy stuff. It's a done deal. 

Even with all that mushy stuff said, I've never played one...ever. I've played similar having had a 6120TM in the past. After playing the Falcon for the first time, the word 'disappointment' is nowhere in sight. it's definitely more than it's looks, speaking of which I had no idea they dressed up the volume knobs with jewelry. Each one has a Ruby like jewel set in them along with a 'dot' of mother of pearl in the middle. The TV Jones Filtertrons are nice as well. I'm looking forward to finding the sweet spot locked into these pickups. The use of gold all over this guitar may seem to be a bit much for some but it's actually a good fit with the guitar being the off white it is. I love the use of gold sparkle as part of the binding...everywhere.

Oh, I took a few pics also :


 

 

I always loved the idea of a big bodied guitar. Back when I was first getting into bands like Little Charlie and the Nightcats and we started playing some of that stuff I decided I needed a big ol' hollow body. I went cheap and bought an Agile Cool Cat and did some mods. It was a really decent guitar but the first time I played out with it, Holy bejesus, I felt like a guitarron player in a Mariachi band. It definitely takes some getting used to.

That's a beautiful guitar LVF, through and through.

NOw you can join a NY Dolls tribute band.

After playing this one, it's at a different level in my mind. The 6120TM was nice but, this one is just wow. I'm sorry I had to wait so long to experience this guitar. Without question, it's a keeper.
