Picked one of these up a while back. One of my favorite guitars, excellent clean tones (and dirty, too!)

Played a used one of these at Guitar Center yesterday and it was an absolute killer guitar! A touring pro would be totally happy with this guitar. It's seriously awesome for the money.

That guitar has great tone, a beautiful appearance and an awesome price tag!

Got my this past Labor Day weekend, it was on sale for$399, my would not stay tuned, after running the strings above the roller, problem solved, I can now use the bigsby and the tuned does not change! This guitar screams with the OD ! Great guitar

Great Guitar! Thanks for the demo!

That sounds f**king awesome, love that!

Nice demo 👍👍 I have a 5222 & a 2655p-90. Love these Gretsch ☺️

On Guitar Center site it has two separate listings of G2655Ts; one of them (red one) says series wired pickups; others (wood, grey, blue colors) says parallel. Accurate? They have two versions of wiring? (series would be mellower, softer I understand). Sometimes GC info is clearly not correct (e.g. guitar shows 21 frets and text says 22 frets 🤪). So who knows about this? Nothing on Gretsch site I could find!

Just picked mine up for 4 bills. Love it!

How well can it be used as a slide guitar? Has it great sustain for that?

those inlays are massive, nice

Perfect heavy metal guitar!

Soundgarden and Foo Fighters songs sound best on my Gretsch’s, and of course I go for those every time I want to nail the perfect AC/DC tone. It’s amazing what one of these with a clean Marshall tone can get pretty gnarly sounding with nothing more than just a little more aggressive picking attack.

Anyone have an idea on what amp Paul is using ? That toneee

Just ordered Mine! (Gold Dust finish)

when I saw the price I was stunned. I was thinking now way this isn't less than at least 5 grand. I guess I'm new to Gretsch because when I see one it's at least 12,000. awesome tone , fantastic body and overall amazing price if I can find one that price.

Great Review !!!!!!! I dig this guitar...….

Amazing guitar, been gigging with one for a year now. Cheap as chips for what you get. Pretty sure there is no limit to the amount of dive you can cake on....

much better is a GB 10 Ibanez !!

Like the clear tone much better,very impressive.

I have the p90 model in the desert sparkle color.

I played one at guitar center. This video doesn't do it justice as far as tone. I'm definitely getting one!

Cant find that exact model for sale anywhere? The dark red and black?

I found one on guitar center website and i might buy it

I got one recently. I just don't get it. It is easily as good as many a guitar that are far more expensive. The tone is to die for. Good job Paul.

So tempted to buy one! Just wondering how the tuning holds up, heard mixed reviews about bigsbys, can anybody share some honest opinions having played this guitar with a bigsby?

I haven't played this one but I have played several guitars with a Bigsby and I don't have tuning issues. As long as the guitar is setup correctly and the player isn't trying to do heavy metal dive bombs then it shouldn't be a problem. Even with a standard tune-o-matic bridge, as opposed to a roller bridge, it works well. I put them on all Les Paul style guitars and semi-hollows. It's all relative to the player I guess, but if the player respects the Bigsby then it will respect you back.

@@WesPaul2000 Thanks a lot for the advice! Haha I didn’t plan on dive bombing, just little pitch wobbles on sustained chords etc, useful comment thank you

Does anyone know which color that is?

I’m really happy with mine. Really fun. Sounds great with Rage Against the Machine-and then surprisingly mellow for my Ella Fitzgerald tunes, lol. I can’t put it down.

It's much smaller in person and that's awesome.

how much weight pls ?

I have this guitar but without the bigsby

How are these guitars holding up for you guys? I'm thinking of getting one!

I rerouted the strings over the rollar instead of under it. The angle from the bridge to the Bigsby's back roller (where the strings attach) applies enough pressure so that the strings don't slip out of the bridge sections but not so much that they get hung up on the bridge. After I did that I have had zero tuning problems when using the tremolo bar.

my sister just got one and im super jealous. so much guitar for 550$

Fucking beautiful

Here's the real world low down on this guitar, it's fantastic really. Totally use able clean and dirty, it chews up really well. The bigsby is not good for dive bombing but it's not a khaler and as long as you understand that you won't be disappointed, great for subtle vibrato as demonstrated. Mine stayed in tune really well, better than my Gibson LP to be honest even with some big bends going on. The only fault I can find is the fret dressing at the body end of the neck could be better. Apart from that it's superb.

Nice

Why is it called JR

It's a smaller body compared to the regular double cut center block model. Think 339 to 335.

I played and demo'd a whole bunch of Gretsch streamlines ....their sustain was very poor say compared to Ibanez...

Jesus Loves You

It amuses me lots to hear most demo's of the Jr ( the real Jr doesn't have a Bigsby!!!!) this one is it's bigger brother and it was dreadful including being obviously a mile out of tune, this guy is a killer player and also thinks a Gretsch can only go in rockabilly twang gear like most other guitarists, -the junior is the shock of the century instead, it's a Paul slayer when played as it was designed to do instead....hilarious vid!
