Im on holiday so I can't get pics of the falcon for at least a week, but its solid red and has off white binding, the pickups are washburns own "power sustain" humbuckers. Its very dark sounding guitar as is a mahogany neck through and string through with brass saddles. 81 is the newest guitar I've played so I couldnt comment on how it stacks up against newer models but a Falcon will do anything from jazz to metal. and I'd imagine that 30 years of "improvement?" will have changed things quite a bit.
