Gretsch G6136 Custom Shop Masterbuilt 1955 Black Falcon

The Gretsch Black Falcon is a hollow-bodied electric guitar finished in black, one of the revered 'Falcon' family of Gretsch guitars which began in 1955 with the White Falcon. It was designed for jazz players, but also became popular among country and rock guitarists. It was built with a hollow single-cutaway body, gold-plated hardware etc.

Sting played what looks like a Gretsch G6136 Custom Shop Masterbuilt 1955 Black Falcon guitar during concerts on the Symphonicities tour in 2010. His Gretsch has the trademark Synchro-Sonic bridge (introduced 1951) with movable string rests, hence the conclusion it is a Custom Shop model.
