Gretsch G2655T Streamliner CB Jr w/ Bigsby, Phantom Metallic

Full Description

Pickups that do it all

No one should be limited in their music. So get yourself a guitar that'll always keep your options open. The G2655T has been loaded with a pair of pickups that strive to give you the most complete performance possible. Specially designed Broad'Tron BT-2S humbuckers deliver wide-ranging tone that'll fit any style. So scintillating highs, bellowing lows, and everything in between is available at your fingertips.

And they pack a punch. They're high output, meaning they perform supremely well at loud volumes - making them ideal for performance. Add in their ability to eliminate noise interference and ensure everything you play sounds pure and exactly as you intend, and you've got a complete electronics package that gives you everything.

Vicious volume with crystal-clear clarity

Make sure everything you play really gets heard. Because the G2655 Streamliner lets you play at the highest volumes. The Broad'Tron pickups are high output, meaning cranking your sound up to 11 won't be a problem. And unlike many other hollow body guitars, Gretsch have engineered this model to ensure that the unpleasant buzzing often associated with playing loudly is eliminated. Its lightweight spruce centre block prevents feedback, ensuring every note you hit shines with sparkling clarity. This is a guitar that's born for the stage.

Never stop playing

Playability is something that often goes overlooked in a guitar. Many manufacturers prioritise fancy electronics and a stylish aesthetic over playing experience. But not Gretsch. They know that an awesome-sounding instrument is useless unless you can play it comfortably and easily.

And that's the exact experience the G2655T provides. Thanks to a slim "U"-shaped neck, your hand can naturally and smoothly glide to all positions along the instrument's scale. Perfect for speedy playing and difficult chord sequences. A slightly more compact Streamliner Jr. body size provides your strumming hand with greater access to the strings, too. Enjoy playability at its absolute best.

Iconic tremolo

The Bigsby. It's been around for decades. This legendary, warbling tremolo tailpiece has been a staple in guitar music since its invention. And for good reason - it's the first ever successful whammy bar. The G2420T's Bigsby creates distinctive, defined tremolo that only it can provide. That's why it's got an illustrious list of fans ranging from Chet Atkins to Keith Richards, Jack White and beyond. Experiment with the very best of a classic effect.
