Great Sound, Great Value!
This is a beautiful instrument. It looks like fine furniture. Well packaged for delivery, and set up pretty close right out of the box. For this price point the sound is fantastic, and the instrument stays in tune. Have an original Epi Casino (same year the Beatles bought theirs), and American made Fender Strat... and this guitar is a strong contender for playability. The fret size is perfect for medium to small hands... and it has nice pickup differentials with clear distinctions. Well...

Good value guitar.
Good little guitar. Took a little setup, but sounds great. Did the pole screw mod on the neck pickup. Fun to play.
Before you even strike a chord, the G2655T Streamliner Center Block Jr. Double-Cut with Bigsby captivates with its Brownstone Maple finish, exuding a blend of classic charm and modern flair. This electric guitar is engineered for high gain-friendly performance, delivering a playing experience that's as smooth as it is responsive. With its sleek double-cutaway body, the G2655T is not only a visual standout but also a powerhouse of sound, perfect for the guitarist looking to make a statement both visually and sonically.
At the heart of the G2655T's rich and versatile tone is the Broad'Tron BT-2S humbucking pickup. This specially designed pickup for the Streamliner Collection offers a high-output that ensures every note is articulated with clarity, from tight, punchy bass to shimmering highs and a warm, throaty midrange. The pickup's nuanced tonal capabilities make it suitable for a wide range of musical genres and playing styles.
The guitar's sonic integrity is further enhanced by the lightweight spruce center block that extends the length of the body. This innovative feature not only strengthens the guitar's structure but also plays a crucial role in reducing feedback, allowing for high-volume performances without compromise. Whether you're on a modern stage or recording in the studio, the G2655T Streamliner provides a reliable and feedback-resistant platform.
Control over your sound is intuitive and comprehensive, thanks to the traditional control layout. With individual volume controls for the neck and bridge pickups, a master tone control, master volume control, and a three-way pickup switching system, you can easily dial in your desired sound with precision.
The Bigsby-licensed B50 vibrato tailpiece adds a layer of expressiveness to your playing, offering smooth vibrato effects that can range from subtle to dramatic. Paired with the anchored Adjusto-Matic bridge and synthetic bone nut, the guitar maintains excellent tuning stability and precise intonation, ensuring that your playing is always pitch-perfect.
The G2655T's playability is further accentuated by its fast-playing 12"-radius laurel fingerboard, adorned with elegant pearloid Big Block inlays and 22 medium jumbo frets. The white-bound neck, with its comfortable thin "U"-shaped profile, is ideal for both intricate chord work and fiery riffing, providing a comfortable grip for extended playing sessions.
Gretsch's iconic styling cues are present throughout the design, from the vintage-style black control knobs and enlarged F-holes, which enhance acoustic projection, to the aged white binding with upgraded purfling. The nickel hardware, three-ply black pickguard, and arched laminated maple construction all contribute to the guitar's sophisticated aesthetic.
The G2655T Streamliner Center Block Jr. Double-Cut with Bigsby in Brownstone Maple is a testament to Gretsch's commitment to musical excellence. It's an exceptional choice for the modern musician who demands a guitar that offers both standout style and formidable performance capabilities.
