In a new Instagram post, Duffy writes Falcon Friday before revealing that hes been working on a top secret project with Gretsch. Having said this, there are a lot worse guitars out there, and as well as being historically important, the 1820 bass can certainly provide the goods when required. Billy Duffy has teased a new, smaller-bodied Gretsch White Falcon signature model. Over the course of the 70s, the Japanese output improved dramatically, and in many ways these early 70s models are a low point for the brand. These new Epiphones were based on existing Matsumoku guitars, sharing body shapes, and hardware, but the Epiphone line was somewhat upgraded, with inlaid logos and a 2x2 peghead configuration.

As an example, serial number 68409 would break down as: 6: June. The vintage White Falcon is not only historic, but a historical outlier. The second or the third number, 7, 8 or 9, (depending on whether the month number is one or 2 digits), identifies the year of production as either 1967, 1968 or 1969 etc. This time, it includes a show-stopping 1955 Gretsch White Falcon, a Gretsch Custom Shop White Falcon masterbuilt by Stephen Stern, and dozens of other incredible guitars and amps.

The Matsumoku factory had been producing guitars for export for some time, but the 1820 bass (alongside a number of guitar models and the 5120 electric acoustic bass) were the first Epiphone models to be made there. The Official Brian Setzer Reverb Shop is open once more.

This catalogue saw the (re-)introduction of the late sixties Gibson Les Paul Custom and Les Paul Standard (see page 69) and the short-lived Hofner Club 70.

Selmer were the exclusive United Kingdom distributors of Hofner and Gibson at the time, and this catalogue contains a total of 18 electric guitars, 7 bass guitars, 37 acoustics, and 2 Hawaiian guitars - all produced outside the UK and imported by Selmer, with UK prices included in guineas.
