Product Name: | Gretsch G2655T Streamliner Center Block Jr. Guitar, Walnut Stain 2800400517 |
Product Description: | The exhilarating G2655T Streamliner Center Block Junior Double Cutaway is designed for three simple things-high gain-friendly performance, slick, easy playability and spectacular style. A sleek music machine, the G2655T cranks out the hits with updated features while staying true to That Great Gretsch Sound! that's been a vital component of rock 'n' roll since its inception.The secret to the Streamliner's sound is twofold-the Broad'Tron humbucking pickup and the spruce center block. Specifically designed by the expert engineers at Gretsch for the Streamliner, the high-output Broad'Tron pickup spawns robust lows, pristine highs and a throaty midrange for a unique tone that blends well with other instruments in a band context. A lightweight spruce center block runs the length of the body, reinforcing the top while eliminating undesired feedback for volume-friendly performance on modern stages. The Streamliner's sonic power is harnessed and shaped by the traditional control layout-neck and bridge pickup volume controls, a master tone control, master volume control and three-way pickup switching. Add some shimmer and expression to your playing with the Bigsby-licensed B50 vibrato tailpiece while the Adjusto-matic bridge with anchored base and synthetic bone nut grant astounding tuning stability and accurate, slip-free intonation. A fast-playing 12""-radius rosewood fingerboard with elegant pearloid block inlays and 22 medium jumbo frets sits atop the white-bound neck with a thin "U"-shaped profile-ideal for chord work or fiery riffing. All the classic eye-catching style you have come to expect from Gretsch is here-vintage-style black control knobs, F Holes, elegant two-ply white and black body binding, slick-looking nickel hardware, single-ply black pickguard with Gretsch logo and arched laminated maple construction. Easy to play while rocking out thanks to its smaller body, G2655T Streamliner Center Block Junior Double Cutaway with Bigsby is a phenomenal instrument for the modern musician who wants to control the stage and the audience while standing out from the pack. |

These are fun guitars, but not the best if you're looking for a Gretsch, or even hollow body IMO. It's all budget hardware, the tailpiece isn't actually a Bigsby, it's Bigsby "licensed", cheapo tuners, etc. Nobody on the planet payed $750 for this, and it's frequently on sale. I think it'll leave the buyer always wanting just a little bit better because it hints at being an expensive guitar. Don't get me wrong though, it's a solid $300 purchase.
I would really suggest checking out the Ibanez Artcore AS73 if you don't need the tremolo. They are just fantastic and play well above their price, even biting at the Gibson ES-335. You can get them for almost this price once you apply the usual coupons.

But in any case, I've played this Gretsch before in stores and it is very nice. I would have jumped on this a few months ago.
Also, mine is more red looking than shown on the website.
Yes, there are some tradeoffs at this price range, but man, this is a real winner at that price.
