I’m a bit of a Neil Young fan and have always wanted a White Falcon (and a Darryl Hannah for that matter)
Ive had / have plenty of Gretsches but paying top dollar for a WF has always prevented me from going for one.
There was one on Reverb from guitar village yesterday at £2500 and in a moment of weakness I stuck in a bid and I’ve just had an email saying it’s mine .... I’m a little bit in shock tbh !
I wasn’t expecting this and haven’t planned for it financially but I’m going to have to sell one of the current Gretsch herd to pay for it so expect a FS thread for an Eddie Cochran /BroadKaster/Country Gent once I’ve worked out what will need to go.
Not sure what to expect from the WF , I’ve never played one so have I set myself up for disappointment?

Congrats!
I've used Paypal credit which is the Devils work I know but it gives me a bit of time to have a think .
A bit like my first date with Jennifer Aniston, the WF may show up , look gorgeous but not be as much fun as I've dreamed it would be and I'll be disappointed. Can I afford to follow @guitargeek62 's good advice - probably not tbh !
Hope the Falcon is a cracker!
One of these days I'm hoping to p-p-p-pickup a Penguin.
Darryl's busy and Jennifer will get round to you at some point....but you can appreciate the intrinsic beauty of the Falcon all the way thru the coming winter months.
It would be unwise to commit to a longer period of course.....
