Part of the family. The Falcons are great guitars. i cherish them both. AND, they hang out with good amps too....

Love Falcons.

Whats the story on the black one? Is it a one-off or is it the body of a Falcon Custom with the neck of a falcon standard/classic?

its a dark grey 2nd series falcon standard. the upscale Custom had gold hardware and flamey tops. The neck on this is ridiculous..

replaced the gold speed knobs with more appropriate chrome domes and changed the Grovers (also non stock) with Hipshot lockers:

I see. I thought it has a flame top, too (its hard to see dark flamed tops in photos some times) But sounds like its a painted top. I have one just like it but in a dark, metallic navy blue color. Flamey neck, too, but not as flamey as yours.

yeah she's dark metallic grey. The neck is slim with the perfect roundover. Jim decola said they got a nice batch of this wood for necks and they used it well. I heartily agree.
