Topic: The Falcon has landed.

The Gretsch White Falcon arrived today. Just brought it home about an hour ago.  I still can`t believe I have one. If anyone can go on my Facebook page and post pictures, I would appreciate it.

Here it is:

Re: The Falcon has landed.

Thank you for posting the pictures Amy. I actually wanted (maybe should have) bought a new truck. I wanted this more. Instead, I will sink some money on my old one and keep it going for a while longer. After playing it. I have no regrets or buyers remorse. It is everything it is built up to be.   I just hate the reason that I was able to get it.   For what it`s worth. After noodling around on it for a while, the first song I played on it was "Times Like These" by Dan Fogelberg.  Not the lead parts. Just the song. I`m not that good.

Nothing like a great guitar to encourage practice.

JJJ, Happy NGD !!!  They all seem to come to us for a reason. Some folks say they find us. If you search you'll know why. Enjoy your new friend.

Re: The Falcon has landed.

When I showed a picture of this beautiful guitar to my late Dad and expressed a wish for one, I will never forget what he said to me: "You getcha one, you better damn sure know how to play it, boy!" wink

I know he'd never say that to you or any of you, JJJ! Congratulations and may you "Be happy for the rest of your life........" https://youtu.be/FKzacHbsBJM wink

I sure would like to see a picture of you both holding each other, my friend!  smile
