Gretsch G6136T White Falcon (Japan, 2015) — solid asking

A G6136T White Falcon listed as a 2015 Japan build. The White Falcon is Gretsch’s highly decorated flagship; specification and origin strongly affect value.

Why we selected it today

The asking price of $4,557 sits slightly below the historical like‑for‑like asking‑price benchmark of $4,692.71, making this a sensible purchase rather than a standout bargain. The benchmark is a historical like‑for‑like asking‑price metric from days with fuller comparable pools; today’s live like‑for‑like pool is thinner. Observed asking prices are reported, not confirmed sale prices. The pricing evidence helped too: AG currently rates the asking price as Fair Price against its like-for-like comparison set.

How the asking price compares

At $4,557, this sits against a current median asking price of $4,815.71 across 2 other closely matched listings. Allowing for the like-for-like asking-price history we have collected, the AG benchmark is $4,692.71. The featured guitar is about 2.9% below that level. That is why AG calls it Fair Price: it sits in sensible market territory rather than looking either obviously cheap or obviously expensive. These are observed eBay asking prices, not confirmed sold prices.

What a buyer should check

Confirm the G‑number, factory, pickups and original case. Inspect binding, gold hardware, neck angle and Bigsby operation.
