Interesting guitar! Neil Young used a similar Gretsch on his latest album, Le Noise, where the top strings were really distorted and the bottom strings were clean. Real cool.
@squ51 Thank you for your interest and your time taken to comment. I'll have to look the Neil Young things out. I mostly use the bass strings clean and with little effects, and use a variety of effects on the Ist three strings. But it depends a lot on centext. There's nothing else I know of that will do the split sound thing. Many thanks again, regards, Roger.
What a beautiful piece! I have a 7595 stereo in not as good condition, lots of laquer cracks which thankfully haven't got any worse in the 20 years i've had it.. Best neck in my collection! I presume you are running both the stereo outputs into the one amp...
Did it ever have the T-zone wonder of Physics on it... noticed the dots at the upper end of the neck? Regards Martin
@sufcok Many thanks for the kind remarks, Martin. The 7595 was an 80's production, I think, and looks quite a bit different, with whammy and abalone block fingerboard markers. It does depend on the hand of course, but the neck on mine is wonderful, and the fastest thing I've ever played. It does have the T-zone which I thought was a bit of a joke, but if you play chord stuff above the 12th fret, then it makes a difference. Don't think I could play this stuff on anything else. Regards, Roger.
Wow, nice Guitar. You could have endless fun using a few different pedals through each output.
I was thinking of trying to do something similar to my CigarBox Guitar, maybe try to put 2 seperate pick ups and inputs on it, but with each pickup only placed under 3 strings. T
@MarkDally Glad I got the stereo bit across. You hit the nail on the head with the pedal idea. I use delay and sometimes trem in various ways, but you could do much more in that line. Gibson did a 335 stereo but it wasn't true stereo. So far as I know there are no other guitars do it in this way. Many thanks for the comment, regards Roger.
@Bigsbeee Hello, the mono and stereo Falcons are the same guitar. It's the electrics that are different. I don't know where you'd source pickups from, but even if you did, the rest of the electrics are still quite different. And there'd be a lot of holes to drill. Ouch. Hope this helps, Regards Roger.
Great rendition of an old favorite; Brings back wonderful memories of Long Island & Danbury CT in the 60's. In 1980 I saw my first & only stereo White Falcon. My pastor Binion in Lewisville, TX played one in church & let me play it. I have been looking for one ever since.
@TTexas2 thank you for your kind comments. Most of the reason I put things on youtube is because the guitar is so unusual, and I've arranged many things specifically for it. Mack the Knife being one of them. Thank you once again, regards Roger.
So help me God! NEVER SEEN A THING LIKE THIS BEFORE!
You are so special, so unique ... there is that wonderful Guitar, lots of possibilties and high quality equipment too - and last but not least - that world-class song with it's lovely melody you performe in a finger-pickers-style mixed with jazzy-bass-walk ... AAaaaahhhhhmmmaaazzziiiinnnnngg!! THANKS!
