Hmm have u tried the guitar gallery yet?

james hetfield used one in the recording of 'nothing else matters' too.
The vintage ones are apparently some of the most expensive guitars ever.

yep he has at least one white falcon (i think he actually has 2 or 3 though) and i'm pretty sure he has a white penguin as well.

Joe Perry has a black falcon and U2's The Edge has a white falcon. Bono doesn't use a Falcon model to my knowledge, but he does use a green gretsch. but i'm pretty sure it's not a Falcon model. so far i haven't seen anyone using a Silver Falcon before.

and for good measure, Malcolm Young uses a modded Double cutaway Gretsch Duojet or something i think.

i like Gretsch but some people question the high prices when it's made in Japan. nevertheless, let that not be a stain Gretsch's build quality, since Japanese guitars are well renown for their exceedingly high build standards.
