Gretsch Guitars has teamed up with alt-country masked singer Orville Peck to release a limited-edition signature guitar, the Orville Peck Falcon. This stunning instrument channels Peck’s signature style, blending vintage Gretsch twang with modern playability and a touch of rhinestone-era flash.
Oro Sparkle Finish Steals the Show
The Orville Peck Falcon’s head-turning feature is its dazzling Oro Sparkle finish. This eye-catching shimmer is complemented by luxurious appointments like a gold Plexiglas pickguard and aged pearloid Humpblock fretboard inlays featuring Western-themed artwork by Judith Rothman Pierce, a frequent collaborator of Peck.
Classic Gretsch Tone with Modern Twist
Crafted for exceptional playability and powerful sound, the Orville Peck Falcon boasts a comfortable 2.5-inch deep maple body with Gretsch’s ML bracing for a resonant, clear hollowbody voice.
The 12-inch radius ebony fretboard with rolled edges and 22 medium jumbo frets sits atop a 25.5-inch scale maple neck with Gretsch’s comfortable U-shaped profile. Modern players will appreciate the Luminlay side dots for effortless fretting on dimly lit stages.
Vintage-Inspired Filter’Tron Pickups
Sonically, the Orville Peck Falcon captures the essence of classic Gretsch chime with a modern twist. FT-67 Filter’Tron humbucker pickups deliver a well-rounded tone perfect for Peck’s genre-bending style. The Bigsby B6GP String-Thru vibrato tailpiece enhances sustain and simplifies string changes.
A Love Letter to Country Music’s Golden Age
“It’s my sort of love letter to that era of country, which was sort of rhinestone-y and flashy during the 60s and 70s,” says Peck. “We wanted to stay true to the original Falcon’s classic feel while adding some pizzazz. Whoever picks up this guitar will be able to show a bit of themselves through it.”
