Tools of the trade - Gretsch White Falcon & Neil Young & Steve Stills

 

Everybody - myself included - was drooling at these sought after guitars blinking from records covers and music magazines 💫💎💫

From “Gainesville Rock History: The 60’s and 70’s”

During the years that I hung around Lipham Music, they had one Gretsch White Falcon in stock, hung so high that a ladder was required to bring it down. It was always there when I visited the store. I never saw anyone try it out and they certainly didn't let us teens touch it. This was Gretsch's top offering, Neil Young played one in Buffalo Springfield. This ad is from a 1966 Down Beat magazine. 

Thanks to Marty Jorad for the memories 💫
