With a multitude of projects over the years headlined by a nearly two-decade stint with rock powerhouse Guns N’ Roses, Richard Fortus is known as one of the most respected guitarists in the world.
And as Fortus tours the globe with Guns, he wows packed stadiums with a set of his new signature Gretsch Falcons.
Years in the making, these guitars are not only a tribute to the artists that influenced the St. Louis native, but are also made to Fortus’ exacting specifications as to what he needs on stage with the rock powerhouse.
“The Falcon has always been iconic. Having a signature Gretsch … I still can’t believe it,” he said. “It’s such an honor. It’s such a lifelong dream. With Gretsch, it was always this pinnacle of quality. I aspired to someday own a Gretsch, let alone have my name on it.”
Watch Fortus dive into his influences and the inspiration behind many of the key features of his namesake Falcons in this video.
