I purchased this Gretsch While Falcon used in 2002.  It is an amazingly versatile guitar.  I have heard numerous stories about Gretsch guitars having poor build quality.  Nothing could be further from the truth with this baby.  For a fully hollow body guitar it is quite solidly built with excellent fretwork, binding & joints.  The neck is a dream to play.  This guitar will inspire anyone looking for the ultimate clean or overdriven tone.
