If I hadn't just gotten myself a 2nd electric I'd be all over this.

You pay them back for the "free" shipping and pay to ship it back. 30 days.

13.4" width vs. 16" on the regular sized models. The other dimensions are full-sized.

Received my second guitar from Adorama this week -- an American Stratocaster Elite. Previous one is a Fender Paramount Deluxe acoustic. Both came with cases in sealed boxes and were in great shape.

I think the real answer to this is "it depends" but it's just from what I've read in passing at the shallow end of the pool. If I remember right (and I could be incorrect) jr with many makes and models refers to a shorter scale length or overall body size (like the 3/4 length) but other manufacturers use jr to open the market with more affordable models with similar body types but with less costly woods, inlays, and hardware. 20 years ago when I was young and dumb in high school I bought a Les Paul Custom from Gibson, back when they were still completely solid body and didn't have alterations to make them lighter to handle for long stretches. Gibson is a company that uses Jr. to denote the more affordable cost and I believe that their scale length is the same as the standards, customs, etc.

I'm not sure how Gretsch handles things but one review that I read identified it as "comfortably small", so I am guessing that it Has a shorter length than their other flagship models, but This is also one of the models that was released as a more budget friendly model of Gretsch's lineup. I'm not a great historian but I believe when I was looking at their guitars in the past they used to start in the $900 range, but please don't take my word as gospel.

That having been said, a guy is played with years ago (well, he played while I struggled to form chords and avoid fret buzzing) had said that anything under 24.5" scale length is a junior while most full size guitars were 24.75-25.5" but I don't think it's a hard and fast rule which can really muddy the waters.

I hope that helps or at least gives you something to go by but I am more of an admirer of guitars and don't really understand the intracacies aside from that a short 3/4 of an inch can dramatically effect the tone and how your positioning. I'm hoping some truly knowledgeable folk will weigh in.

This has a 24.75" scale length and a 12" radius. According to a review on Music Radar, the only thing Jr. is the smaller body width which makes this a little lighter and easier to hold.

Slickdeal OP!
To me anyways, it has the thicker neck like gibson 50's, even though they say thin U. It is not that thin.
Epi's thin D is the one I like much better.
If this Gretsch had a thinner neck, I'd be on this so will pass on it.

Too bad Adorama does not sell Epiphones.


I checked them out at the local guitar center yesterday. Local guitar center had this G2655T with a $549 price and the thing has a cracked neck at the base seen in the paint clear as day....... and couple other guitars also had the same type crack neck at the base. - why these are on the rack for sale, who knows unless they hope to pawn it off on someone that doesn't see it.
