General

Part of Gretsch's Pro Collection, this G7593T hollow-body guitar is the signature model of Billy Duffy, guitar player of legendary British band the Cult. It's fitted with the famous Bigsby tremolo, a Bigsby tailpiece and highly reliable Grover tuners, and features a string nut made of real bone, producing better sustain than less expensive, synthetic materials. The body of the G7593T is made of maple, ensuring a clear response with a tight low-end.

Unique electronics

The Black Top Filter'Tron pickups of the Gretsch G7593T have been exclusively designed for the Billy Duffy Falcon and produce a typical 70s and 80s rock tone that immediately brings the characteristic guitar sound of the Cult to mind. The pickups and the individual magnet poles can be adjusted in height using a hex key and screwdriver.

Astonishing playing comfort

The top-of-the-line quality of the Gretsch G7593T is evident in the materials, hardware and thoughtful construction. The instrument is fitted with a Bigsby tremolo, renowned for its exceptional suppleness and string installation. Both top and back of the body are arched for an overall pleasant playing feel and the luxury ebony fingerboard with medium jumbo frets allows for both comfortable barre chords and effortless solos.
