The G2655T Streamliner Center Block Jr. Double-Cut with Bigsby is an incredible guitar that delivers high gain-friendly performance, easy playability, and stunning style. This sleek music machine stays true to the iconic Gretsch sound that has been a staple of rock 'n' roll since its inception.
Featuring the powerful Broad'Tron BT-2S humbucking pickup and a mahogany center block, the Streamliner produces improved definition and tighter bass response for rich lows, clear highs, and a throaty midrange. The lightweight chambered mahogany center block eliminates unwanted feedback and enhances volume-friendly performance on modern stages. You can shape your sound with the traditional control layout including neck and bridge pickup volume controls, a master tone control, master volume control, and three-way pickup switching.
Enhance your playing with the Bigsby-licensed B50 vibrato tailpiece, while the anchored Adjusto-Matic bridge and synthetic bone nut ensure excellent tuning stability and accurate intonation.
The guitar features a fast-playing 12”-radius laurel fingerboard with elegant pearloid Big Block inlays and 22 medium jumbo frets. The white-bound neck has a thin “U”-shaped profile, perfect for chord work and fiery riffing.
In terms of style, the G2655T showcases Gretsch's classic aesthetic. It includes vintage-style black control knobs, enlarged F-holes for improved acoustic projection, elegant aged white binding with upgraded purfling, slick nickel hardware, a three-ply black pickguard, and arched laminated maple construction. The smaller body makes it easy to play while standing out on stage.
The guitar is equipped with all-new Broad'Tron BT-2S pickups, a slightly smaller 14” double-cutaway arched maple body with a chambered mahogany center block, enlarged F-holes for enhanced acoustic projection, a Nato neck, and a 12”-radius laurel fingerboard with pearloid Big Block inlays. The master volume, master tone, and individual pickup volume controls offer complete tone-shaping flexibility. It also features vintage-style control knobs, a Bigsby B50 vibrato tailpiece, an anchored Adjusto-Matic bridge, a three-ply black pickguard, and is available in Brownstone Maple, Stirling Green, and Walnut Stain with nickel hardware.
This guitar is perfect for modern musicians who want to take control of the stage and captivate the audience while standing out from the crowd.
