$10K. Dang!

Should of bought the red Penguin.

Synchro · February 7th, 2010, 09:17 PM

It's a Falcon and it's red. If it's not a relic I might even like it.

Tamayo · February 7th, 2010, 09:18 PM

Might trade my white one for it! ;0)

Bengal65 · February 7th, 2010, 09:47 PM

"In stock", let me get out my GC credit card out

Synchro · February 7th, 2010, 10:00 PM

MF lists it for $9,999 and it's Firebird red.

Bonedaddy · February 7th, 2010, 10:10 PM

I saw and played it at NAMM. It's the shizznizzle in person...

Hot Rod Michelle · February 7th, 2010, 11:43 PM

Ok, ok, enough with the suspense already..... lets see it!

Bonedaddy · February 8th, 2010, 12:27 AM

****, I didn't buy it! I may have pictures of it though from the stuff I took at NAMM. I'll have to look for them. I wish I'd have bought that red sparkle penguin. But, it had dynas and I was looking for a jet that could handle higher gain better. So I bought a Silver Jet from Rocky at Streetsounds in NYC yesterday.

I envy you guys who live in the land of oh so low guitar prices but unless my eyes have failed is the price almost 10,000 dollars? If some of you would or could actually buy that I am honored to be in such wealthy company. I honestly could not afford to pay that sort of money for a guitar and have to say even if I could I would have severe problems justifying it no matter what color it was. I won't bore you with what that could buy in terms of guitars and amps but just say power to your elbow if that price tag does not make you blink or your eyes water.

Fargin Fred III.

I know it's his company, but that RED FALCON was my idea. I imparted it upon him and Joe for some 20 minutes one day. Only I was going to call it the POLISH FALCON (red and white, like the POLISH flag).

They were only too happy to meet my demand. For a mere $8500 the Gretsch Custom Shop would be more than happy to build me my Falcon.

I like my White Falcon LDS, although I haven't touched ANY other guitar since I got my Hallmark Deke Dickerson.

And I thought you were joking

Check out this YouTube video. Amongst some other wild guitars, there is something that looks very much like a DynaSonics equipped Red Falcon. There are also some Jets that are inappropriately cool for someone with no money.

mikante · February 8th, 2010, 07:09 AM

where do I pay?
