      1954 Gretsch Electromatic II/White Flacon Conversion

      This amazing full body electric archtop started its life as an Electromatic II but was the converted to the specs of a '50s White Falcon. This was common practice beginning in the early to mid-1980s as the price of White Falcons shot through the roof. It was an ingenious way for Gretsch fans to get the best of both worlds. If you want the true look and feel of an original early Falcon at 1/3 of the price then this is the guitar for you!
