Clean and overdrive sounds with lively dynamics

The Gretsch G6636-RF Richard Fortus Signature Falcon Centerblock V-Stoptail Black is a bold, no-nonsense semi-hollow electric guitar developed in collaboration with longtime Guns N' Roses guitarist Richard Fortus. Designed to deliver rich, responsive tone and reliable stage performance, this signature model merges vintage style with modern reliability. Its laminated maple body with a center block and a pair of Gretsch Custom Wound Filter'Tron pickups forms the tonal heart of the instrument—producing brilliant, articulate clean tones and harmonically rich overdrive with excellent dynamics. A slim Standard "U" neck profile ensures fast, comfortable playability, while a road-ready hardware setup makes the G6636-RF an ideal companion for both touring and studio work.

The Gretsch G6636-RF Richard Fortus Signature Falcon Centerblock V-Stoptail Black delivers premium rock tones as the signature guitar of Guns N' Roses' rhythm guitarist.

The comfortably playable "Standard U" maple neck is glued to the semi-resonant body.

Doublecut Falcon with center block

The Richard Fortus Signature Falcon features a sleek double-cutaway body crafted from laminated maple, offering a classic look with modern comfort and control. Its solid center block provides crucial stability and significantly reduces feedback, even at higher volumes – making it perfect for live performance with overdriven tones. The thin 1.75" body depth enhances ergonomic handling whether you're playing standing up or seated. The glued-in maple neck features a slim Standard "U" profile for a fast, responsive feel across the entire fingerboard. Topped with a 22-fret ebony fingerboard, it offers a smooth, articulate surface that caters equally well to heavy riffing and technical lead work.

GRETSCH G6636-RF Richard Fortus Signature Falcon Centerblock V-Stoptail Black Body

Filter'Tron pickups wound to Richard Fortus' specifications with treble-bleed circuitry and no-load tone control promise lively overdrive tones.

Custom Wound Filter'Trons and Straightforward Circuitry

.At the core of the guitar’s tonal versatility are two Gretsch Custom Wound Filter'Tron pickups, meticulously voiced to reflect the open, airy character of a semi-hollow body while delivering tight control and dynamic touch sensitivity. Whether you're dialing in a shimmering clean tone or a biting overdrive, the pickups respond beautifully to your playing technique, capturing every nuance. The straightforward electronics layout includes a 3-way selector switch, master volume with treble bleed, and a master tone control with a no-load circuit. This no-load design removes the tone pot from the signal path when fully open, allowing for the most direct and transparent tone possible – ideal for players who value tonal purity and clarity at higher gain levels.

Grover Rotomatic tuners guarantee stable and accurate tuning of the Richard Fortus Signature Falcon.

Indestructible hardware

To handle the rigors of stage and studio life, the G6636-RF Falcon comes loaded with durable, high-performance hardware. The striking V-stoptail tailpiece not only adds a visual touch of elegance but anchors the strings solidly for superior sustain. From there, they pass over a TonePros TP6 Locking Tune-O-Matic bridge, which provides excellent tuning stability and intonation thanks to its locking design and rock-solid construction. Up top, a GraphTech nut and a set of Grover Rotomatic tuners ensure smooth, accurate tuning with rock-solid stability. This premium hardware setup is engineered for consistent performance under pressure – whether you're in the studio cutting tracks or on stage playing to thousands.
