Classic Gretsch appearance

Classic Gretsch appearance The G2655 Streamliner Center Block Jr. Double-Cut 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 slightly smaller double-cut body shape that is very comfortable to play for longer gigs. It also comes decorated with vintage-vibed, multi-ply binding that wraps the entire instrument. And the chrome hardware and pearloid Neo-Classic inlays ensure the G2655 Streamliner will look as great onstage as it does hanging up in Music Experience's Music Store..

Versatile tones, from vintage to modern

Leveraging vintage-style construction and a modern electronics package, the G2655 Streamliner delivers tones that will fit just as well with a low-wattage rockabilly band as they will through a high-gain amp stack. On a foundational level, its semi-hollow design adds warmth and clarity to the guitar's overall tone. But make no mistake: when cranked, its high-output, custom-wound Broad'Tron BT-3S humbucking pickups are engineered to deliver screaming rock and fusion tones. Unleash even greater degrees of expression with a push-pull master volume control to instantly access some serious single-coil attitude. To boot, any and all feedback is kept nicely under control via the body's center block.

Built with the player in mind

Gretsch's G2655 Streamliner plays and feels every bit as good as it sounds. Its soft C 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 prevent hindrance of your picking hand.
