The Gretsch G8424TG Billy Duffy Falcon Vintage White at a glance:

With the English rock band The Cult, founding member and guitarist Billy Duffy achieved legendary status in the early 80s/90s and had a lasting influence on the post-punk scene. The influence of psychedelic elements in combination with goth and hard rock made The Cult a unique band, paving the way for all sub-genres. To mark the 40th anniversary of The Cult, Billy Duffy has been given a signature model from Gretsch, which not only stands out with its beautiful design, but is also intended to convey the sound and attitude of his style. The hollow-body guitar is equipped with two Filter'Tron pickups, which enable the incomparable Billy Duffy sound, while the combination of golden hardware and the vintage white finish conveys a great look.
