Gretsch G7593T BD Billy Duffy Falcon Electric Guitar
Billy Duffy's playing style combines rockabilly and rock 'n' roll influences with the post-punk and new wave sounds of the '80s. One key component of Duffy's distinctive sound is his Gretsch guitar.
Duffy's signature Gretsch combines his dark and moody style with the thick, resonant, semi-hollow tone of the Gretsch Falcon. The Billy Duffy Falcon sports extra-hot Black Top Filter'Tron pickups for an edgy and aggressive tone that retains its character when you roll off the gain. A Bigsby tremolo adds even more depth to your sound by letting you create dramatic movement and texture in your playing.
