G6136T-MGC Michael Guy Chislett Signature Falcon

Australian born and bred Michael Guy Chislett is a founding member, lead guitarist, and celebrated producer for Christian worship band Hillsong United. Chislett’s influence and credentials also expand across multiple genres. He played in Butch Walker’s band and was the lead guitarist for Chicago rock band the Academy Is... from 2007-2011, as well as contributing to albums by Pete Yorn, Pistol Youth, and Good Charlotte.

Gretsch is proud to honor Chislett with the G613T-MGC Michael Guy Chislett Signature Falcon with Bigsby.

Chislett’s all-new signature model shares many design elements from the beloved early-‘90s Gretsch White Falcon he acquired as a teenager and has since played all over the globe, but with a few select enhancements.

The fully hollow body build features a highly resonant solid Sitka spruce top with bound F-holes, vintage 1959-style trestle bracing, and laminated maple back and sides for that classic big-body sound with incredible projection and rich, balanced tone.

A semi-gloss maple neck with a comfortable and versatile standard “U”-shaped profile for supple playability is capped by a 12”-radius ebony fingerboard with pearloid Big Block inlays and 22 medium jumbo frets, making complex chords, far-reaching bends, and intricate single-note playing effortless.

TV Jones TV Classic pickups provide powerful tone and unparalleled dynamics, and can be flexibly harnessed with a versatile control layout consisting of three-way toggle switch, individual pickup volume controls, master tone, and a master volume with treble bleed circuit features “Squeezebox” paper-in-oil capacitors for an incredibly silky high end. Add sustain and expressive shimmer to your playing with the Bigsby B6GP vibrato tailpiece while the Adjusto-Matic bridge with ebony base and bone nut combine for impeccable tuning stability.

This resplendent bird is dressed in a Vintage White gloss lacquer finish with gold sparkle binding, gold pickguard, and gold hardware.
