[WHITE FALCON]

???????????????????????

it seems to be deleted!


:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

aka the one that chris's guitar in it...

[BonesTLE]

Maybe some of the info released in it wasn't meant to be seen yet?

[WHITE FALCON]

i'de imagine so.....

i hope mick isnt in any shit.

[BonesTLE]

Same, it probably means we were told the secret though...
We better not tell anyone :D

[Johnny_Wah]

hehehehehehehehehe

was that picture the actual prototype?

[WHITE FALCON]

what secret? :)

HEY EVERYONE!THE SECRET IS THAT I LIKE COLOURING IN BOOKS!

[BonesTLE]

*Wink Wink* ;) Exactly! And I really like cheese!

[Colezy]

hehehehehehehehehe

was that picture the actual prototype?
I dont think it was...just a pretty similar one. Don't quote me on that though. :)

[Johnny_Wah]

interesting, interesting.

Still, I hope it comes with a pickguard:D

but just quickly, the gold annie tailpiece on chris' white falcons, did he put them on or is that how they sold them in '91?

[BonesTLE]

I dont think it was...just a pretty similar one. Don't quote me on that though. :)

Whoops sorry - I quoted you.

[Fritz]

Sorry guys been away from the computer all day.

the photo posted said 'this will give you an idea of what it might look like'. Not 'this is chris cheneys guitar'.

the photo was of David Lee's signature White Pheonix.

Now that photo was posted on the gretsch forum saying 'yes this IS chris' sig guitar'. So I had to remove the rumour from here :)

Thats why I dont want to give out info or show off pics cos this stuff happens. I did it once and see what happened :) Sorry guys, not again. No info until its released.

[BonesTLE]

Fair enough man, we understand.
It must be hard trying to keep that secret - seems like you want to tell us everything.
We'll be patient...

[Colezy]

Trust some dickhead to fuck things up :rolleyes:

[WHITE FALCON]

which dickhead posted it on the gretsch website?

fucker.

[Johnny_Wah]

what the fake one? pfft.

anyway I'm curious, someone answer my questioney?

[BonesTLE]

I promise it wasn't me :D
Really.

[Fritz]

Sorry kinda my fault. I posted that pic very late last night just saying 'here is what it might look like, heres a good idea for yous'. I should of stressed that alot more.

Came back the next day and i go to gretschpages.com and theres a post there saying 'heres chris' sig guitar'!!

I had to delete the topic here to kill the wrong info on gretschpages

[BonesTLE]

I saw that post: I'm a reader but not a poster there - I should have said something...
People should get the idea. I mean even comparing the stats to the picture there's many differences...

[Fritz]

Yeah. David Lee's gretsch has a bigbsy for one thing. lol

Ahhhh I hate waiting around for gigs. tra la la

[Fritz]

Bones, how much difficulty did you get trying to order in your lefty falcon ?

[Johnny_Wah]

Ah I saw it.

the name of the person who put it up was "Jonesie"

[Fritz]

i cant be bothered registering of gretschpages.

im about to head out the door,

can one of you guys post in that topic saying something like 'photo was posted on TLE website saying 'this will give you an idea of what chris cheneys guitar could look like', guitar in photo is owned by david lee of shack shakers'. - confirmed by TLE website moderators.

Thanks guys!!! im off to play some rock n roll.

[BonesTLE]

Bones, how much difficulty did you get trying to order in your lefty falcon ?

Not too much really. It took forever to arrive though.
The hardest part was just not having a lefty to try first. I sort of had to imagine it a bit. :D

Ah awesome! I might get a left handed one in the distant future just for the sake of having a White Falcon. But in terms of cost, I can get just as good a guitar for a fraction of the price. It's like designer clothes, you're paying for the label more than anything.

[jessebelle]

thanks bones. i'd make you my bitch if I could :)

You'd make everyone your bitches if you could.

[WhitefalconTLE44]

i know you said no more info until its released, but can we find out when it will be released? Thats all i need to know at the moment, i want it so badly.

[Fritz]

nah i dont even know when that will be. noone seems to know

[WhitefalconTLE44]

damn, o well, i guess i just have to be more patient. :(

[BonesTLE]

I don't really think that's true with Gretsch's. So much work is put into every guitar. They're handmade - not machine produced. While it's true that in many things you are paying for the brand, it's not always the case: sometimes you're paying for quality.

[Julian]

Apparently with lower end Gretschs you are paying purely for the name. All the characteristics of an overseas made guitar except the price

[BonesTLE]

You're probably right there Julian...

[thelivingvines]

all the more reason to save up and do it properly then.

[Julian]

Or to go for something else

[Strider]

I though Gretsches were mass produced just like every other guitar these days (especially since they've been taken over). I just assumed that was the case, I wouldn't consider myself learned in electric guitars to be honest so you may be right....I agree with you to a certain extent with quality, but Gretsches are WAY over-priced for their quality. You can most definitely get an equal guitar performance wise for a fraction of the price...

[Julian]

Yeah, I thought they were mass produced too.
