The G2655-P90 Streamliner Center Block Jr. sticks close to what has made Gretsch guitars 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 G2655-P90 is also decorated with vintage-vibed, 2-ply white-and-black binding that wraps the entire instrument. And the chrome hardware and pearloid block inlays ensure the G2655-P90 will look as great onstage as it does hanging up at Music Experience!
The G2655-P90 Streamliner Center Block Jr. blends vintage-style construction with a modern electronics package to deliver looks and tones that'll inspire a new breed of Gretsch player. The semi-hollowbody design adds warmth and clarity to the guitar's tone. But make no mistake: when cranked, the high-output FideliSonic 90 pickups deliver screaming tone when you need to cut through a mix. Feedback is kept nicely under control via the body's spruce center block.
Gretsch's G2655-P90 Streamliner Center Block Jr. 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.
The exhilarating G2655-P90 Streamliner™ Center Block Jr. Double-Cut P90 with V-Stoptail is designed for three simple things - high gain-friendly performance, slick, easy playability and spectacular style. A sleek music machine, the G2655-P90 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 G2655-P90's sound is the perfect blend of brash and brawn with a chambered mahogany center block driven to the limit by all-new Gretsch FideliSonic™ pickups. These single-coil 90 pickups retain the full warm tone of a traditional P90 with a distinct top-end that is articulate and well-defined. A lightweight chambered mahogany center block runs the length of the mahogany body, reinforcing the arched 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. The V-Stoptail can withstand the heavier styles of playing, while the anchored Adjusto-Matic™ bridge and synthetic bone nut grant astounding tuning stability and accurate, slip-free intonation. A fast-playing 12"-radius laurel fingerboard with unique oval inlays and 22 medium jumbo frets sits atop the white-bound nato neck with a thin "U"-shaped profile - ideal for chord work or fiery riffing. Classic '50s and '60s Gretsch eye-catching style is also here - all-new "radio arrow" control knobs, enlarged F-holes for increased acoustic projection, stylized pickup bezels, elegant aged white binding with upgraded purfling, one-ply black pickguard, slick-looking nickel hardware and standout finishes including Brownstone and Claret Burst. Easy to play while rocking out thanks to its smaller 14" body, the G2655-P90 is a phenomenal instrument for the modern musician who wants to control the stage and the audience while standing out from the pack.
