Awesome guitar. Buy it and love it.

This is the most beautiful guitar I own. It is my third Gretsch and now my favorite. I prefer the sound of a Gretsch over other brands. I received this guitar in perfect condition. The build quality is amazing for the price, it holds its tune and is super easy to play. Just a great guitar.

Beautiful and warm guitar.

My first semi-hollow body electric. This Gretsch looks very nice and feels like a high quality guitar. Sounds warm with the stock pickups. I was sad when Adorama lowered the price after I bought it.

Amazing instrument

Stunning looks and great pickups. Weak part is definitely the hardware though, I recommend properly lubricating the Bigsby and tightening the screws in the Tune-o-Matic.

Great Guitar

This guitar was as good-looking, or better-looking, in person as it was in the photo used to sell it. It was more than reasonably-priced. Shipping was fast. It arrived in what appears to be new condition, and well-packaged. It looks, plays, and sounds great. It was a great deal. Glad I purchased this guitar from Adorama.

These are stunnungly beautiful and extremely well made

This is an absolutely gorgeous guitar. It's smaller than an ES335, so it's more like an ES339 or a Casino Coupe. The one thing that stands out immediately is how attractive it is. This guitar just glows with good looks! Another thing that stands out is how incredibly well made it is. The fit and finish are flawless. It's got more than the traditional Gretsch twang and rockabilly tones too. It has excellent pick ups that stay clear. The set up was OK, but I like my strings a little lower so that was easy to adjust. The intonation was spot on too. The inspection card was dated from June of 2023, so the strings were 15 months old. Even though they were unused, new strings would make a difference. The tuners are good. The knobs and switch tip are excellent pieces and the special strap locks are gold too. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a high quality guitar at a very good price. It's an amazing guitar, period.

New For Gretsch! Still Feels & Sounds ALL Gretsch... But!

Heard about the G5565TG when introduced at Winter NAMM 2019. Liked the idea of a smaller Center-Block body designed for comfort with less feedback issues. The Black-Top pickups were reworked and sound quite different for the 54** series. The Guitar is very well built, much better than anticipated being from China. Fret's are good, no sharp edges and levelled well for the pricepoint. This is a Great guitar for sitting or standing as it's so comfortable not to wide or heavy. Volume not being pugged in is certainly louder than normal electrics, not as loud as it's bigger brothers, had good tone and better than expected sustain. The bridge is a big improvement over my 5420. Not use to the Ovankol Fret-Board, has a different feel than Rosewood or Ebony, it's a bit more open grain. Looks good! The Gretsch G5565TG Is a very pleasent surprise and great addition for any Gretsch fan. Reason I didn't give 5 Stars? First, the guitar was horribly set up! Worse than any I've purchased new, (yes most will need some work being done when they arrive). This was on another level. The trussrod was loose, fully relaxed. Action was so low the guitar was unplayable, Won't even start about the intonation. For someone that doesn't know how to set-up a guitar they may have sent it back or taken it in to get set up, odds are it would have scared them off and returned it. Sad as it's truly is a Great Guitar! Secondly, I wanted a Gretsch matching Hardcase for the G56565, looked and can't find one. Called Gretsh, they don't have one out Yet, was told should be on the market by Christmas. Tried the Hardcase for my SParkle-Jet (very similar in size) it fit, was a lil bit tight in the body, yet works. However being longer, the Head-Stock hit's the material cover foam at the end pushing it in approx half way. Not comfortable with that so it sits on a guitar stand waiting for the new case to come out using the Jet case only when I must.

The best deal of the year and a beautiful guitar. If you don't use Adorama you really need to. I love it!

Experience the electrifying power and pure sound of the G5655TG Electromatic Center Block Jr. Electric Guitar, a testament to Gretsch's decades-long legacy of unparalleled quality and distinctive style. This guitar is meticulously crafted to deliver the iconic Gretsch sound, even at high volumes, making it an ideal choice for live performances and studio recordings alike.

The G5655TG Electromatic Center Block Jr. is more than just a guitar; it's a fusion of style, playability, and sonic power. Its smaller-sized body houses a chambered spruce center block, offering dynamic resonance, high gain power, and lightweight comfort. This design ensures that every strum and pluck resonates with a bold, clear tone, even when you're pushing the volume to the limit.

The 12"-radius laurel fingerboard is a player's dream, hosting 22 medium jumbo frets and NeoClassic thumbnail inlays. This design not only enhances the guitar's aesthetic appeal but also offers excellent playability, allowing for smooth transitions and effortless fretting.

Under the hood, the G5655TG Electromatic Center Block Jr. is equipped with dual Black Top Broad'Tron humbucking pickups. These pickups deliver a bold, dynamic, and articulate tone, with an enhanced sonic punch that will cut through any mix.

But this guitar isn't just about sound; it's also about style. Available in three stunning finishes - Azure Metallic, Cadillac Green, and Orange Stain - the G5655TG Electromatic Center Block Jr. is a true showstopper. The gleaming gold hardware, including the Bigsby B70 vibrato tailpiece, anchored Adjusto-Matic bridge, and G-arrow knobs, adds a touch of luxury and class to this already impressive instrument.

In summary, the G5655TG Electromatic Center Block Jr. Electric Guitar with Laurel Fingerboard in Cadillac Green is a perfect blend of Gretsch's timeless sound, modern playability, and eye-catching style. It's not just a guitar; it's a statement of musical prowess and aesthetic taste.
