Compact Semi-Hollow Body with Center Block
The G2655T Streamliner Center Block Jr. is a semi-hollowbody electric guitar built for players who want traditional Gretsch tone in a lighter, more manageable instrument. Its smaller arched maple body incorporates a center block that adds sustain and reduces feedback. This design suits gigging musicians and studio players who need comfort during long sessions without sacrificing presence.
Dual Broad'Tron BT-3S Humbuckers
The decisive specification is the pair of Broad'Tron BT-3S pickups, which blend Alnico 5 and Alnico 2 magnets for high output with strong mids, tight lows, and smooth highs. This pickup configuration delivers a versatile, powerful voice that handles clean articulation and driven grit equally well. Players seeking single-coil clarity or active electronics will need a different guitar.
Bigsby Tremolo and Laurel Fingerboard
The licensed Bigsby vibrato tailpiece adds expressive pitch control while the laurel fingerboard on a nato neck provides a smooth playing surface. The compact semi-hollow construction keeps weight down and feedback in check, freeing the player to move on stage. Builders needing a fully hollow body or a fixed hardtail bridge should look elsewhere.
