Semi-hollowbody Electric Guitar with Maple Body, Nato Neck, Laurel Fingerboard, and 2 Humbucking Pickups – Tropico

Get into This High-gain Gretsch

The Gretsch G2655T Streamliner Center Block Junior double-cutaway semi-hollowbody electric guitar was built for players looking for an affordable guitar that blends the identifiable Gretsch sound with high-gain rock tones. Two high-output, custom-woundBroad’Tron BT-35 humbucking pickups effortlessly push amplifiers into overdrive, while the spruce center block in the body resists feedback at loud volumes. And a Bigsby-licensed vibrato gives the G2655T diverse pitch control for maximum expressive possibility. The Gretsch G2655T Streamliner Center Block Junior is a wonderful blend of old-school personality and new-age tonal dexterity.

Classic Gretsch appearance

The G2655T Streamliner Center Block Junior sticks close to what has made Gretsch guitars look so desirable over the years. A pair of F-holes divulges the guitar’s semi-hollowbody construction, with a thinline body that is very comfortable to play for longer gigs. The G2655T is also decorated with vintage-vibed, multi-ply binding that wraps the entire instrument. And the chrome hardware and pearloid Neo-Classic inlays ensure the G2655T will look as great onstage as it does hanging up in music stores.

Versatile tones, from vintage to modern

The G2655T Streamliner Center Block Junior uses vintage-style construction and a modern electronics package to deliver tones that will fit equally well with a low-wattage rockabilly band as it will through a high-gain amp stack. The semi-hollow design adds warmth and clarity to the guitar’s tone. And a Bigsby licensed vibrato allows for Duane Eddy-style pitch bends. But make no mistake: when cranked, the high-output, custom-wound Broad’Tron BT-35 humbucking pickups are engineered to deliver screaming rock and fusion tones. Feedback is kept nicely under control via the body’s center block.

Built with the player in mind

Gretsch’s G2655T Streamliner Center Block Junior plays and feels every bit as good as it sounds. Its Thin “U” neck profile is round enough that chording remains comfortable in all positions, while being thin enough to facilitate fleet-fingered single-note runs. The thinline, double-cutaway construction is comfortable against your body, and it gives you unimpeded access to the guitar’s highest frets. And the controls have even been thoughtfully laid out to not interfere with your picking hand technique.
