The
exhilarating G2655T Streamliner™ Center Block Jr. Double-Cut with Bigsby® 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™ BT-2S humbucking pickup
and the spruce center block. Designed specifically for the Streamliner
Collection, the high-output Broad’Tron pickup spawns improved definition with
tighter bass response for robust lows, pristine highs and a throaty midrange. 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 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 elegant pearloid Big 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’ve come to expect from Gretsch is here—vintage-style
black control knobs, enlarged F-holes for increased acoustic projection,
elegant aged white binding with upgraded purfling, slick-looking nickel
hardware, three-ply black pickguard and arched laminated maple construction.
Easy to play while rocking out thanks to its smaller body, the G2655T is a
phenomenal instrument for the modern musician who wants to control the stage
and the audience while standing out from the pack.
