Review Summary

Rated 4 out of 5

A nice, well-made guitar for its price range.

Apparently this is a discontinued finish for the G2655 lineup, so it was offered as a great price through Adorama. I found the sunburst finish to be nice, (and not quite as "orange" as the online photos suggest). And, save for a very minor paint "flaw" around one of the f holes (nothing to warrant returning) overall very clean.The neck is very comfortable, and straight, and access to the lower frets is very good. The nato fretboard is not as nice as most rosewood fretboards I've seen, but serviceable. I adjusted the string height down to about where my Epiphone guitar's height and it plays very well. The pickups are not quite as "rich" as I prefer, but not too bad for a guitar that was selling for under $400. The volume and tone controls allow for a wide range of variation, and the push/pull master volume control's coil-splitting feature might appeal to others. Overall, a very well made and pleasing guitar in its pricer range.

Well built but pickups are cheap sounding

The guitar is built solid and finish is flawless, the only complaint is that the pickups are not Gretsch sounding.

Great guitar for a great price. Only a slight defect

Great guitar, but there is a defect in the binding that was a disappointment. Rest of the guitar looks great. Plays great as well. Size was not as large as I thought, but perfect for playing. Slightly larger than my les Paul.

Great Service and Fast Shipping

Very nice looking guitar and was shipped quick and arrived fast. The only thing is, there were some issues with the electronics being defective. The return process was simple and easy to accomplish. This is does not take away from this company's quality and service. They were great making me feel the served me as a customer. Thanks

Great little Gretsch

Awesome guitar. Guitar was securely packed and shipped quickly. Great semi hollow body for the money. Pick ups have the familiar Gretsch sound. Fit and finish is perfect. No defects at all. Great small body semi hollow

Another Outstanding Experience

I bought this Gretsch 2655 just a few weeks after I purchased its twin with P90 pickups. In both instances, I had the same pleasant buying experience - super fast m, efficient and effective delivery from Adorama, along with an outstanding guitar design from Gretsch. My complements to both Gretsch and Adorama - awesome job!!!

Great guitar

By Jeff H.

I love this guitar. It was set up well enough when I got it that I haven't done anything but play it.

Sweet Guitar

By Tim M.

This guitar is really nice. Although made in Indonesia they did a great job creating this Gretsch. Plays great and looks great. I got this guitar for a great price that I couldn't pass it up.

The exhilarating G2655 Streamliner Center Block Jr. Double-Cut with V-Stoptail is designed for three simple things-high gain-friendly performance, slick, easy playability and spectacular style. A sleek music machine, the G2655 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 undesirable 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. A fast-playing 12"-radius laurel fingerboard with elegant pearloid Big Block inlays and 22 medium jumbo frets sits atop the white-bound nato neck with a thin "U"-shaped profile-ideal for chord work or fiery riffing. Enjoy rock-solid tuning stability courtesy of the stylish Gretsch V-Stoptail tailpiece, anchored Adjusto-Matic bridge and synthetic bone nut.

All the classic eye-catching style you've come to expect from Gretsch is here-vintage-style black control knobs, enlarged F-holes for acoustic projection, elegant aged white binding with upgraded purfling, slick-looking nickel hardware, three-ply tortoise pickguard and arched laminated maple construction. Easy to play while rocking out thanks to its smaller body, the G2655 is a phenomenal instrument for the modern musician who wants to control the stage and the audience while standing out from the pack.
