GRETSCH - G2655TG Streamliner™ - FT Center Block Jr. - limited edition - Double-Cut with Bigsby® - Laurel Fingerboard - Vintage White

The limited-edition G2655TG Streamliner Center Block Jr. Double-Cut is a sized-down semi-hollow melody maker that makes one of Gretsch’s most iconic aesthetic schemes more accessible than ever before. Wearing a marvelous Vintage White finish with gold-plated hardware and Big Block pearloid inlays, this Streamliner takes on a distinct look that many 6-stringers recognize as a nod to the company’s legendary bird of prey, first spotted in the mid-1950s.

A center-block-equipped, lightweight semi-hollow design of 100% maple takes on a smaller double-cut silhouette for the perfect blend of classic character, contemporary noise reduction, and comfortable playability. Two split-coil Broad’Tron BT-3S humbuckers growl and clean up with sonic dynamism, infusing single-coil shimmer and dual-coil body with impressively precise tone shaping. Speared with a set neck of laurel-topped nato, the G2655TG Streamliner showcases 22 frets for traversing any musical realm you favor with smooth Soft-C-shaped glide.

An Adjusto-matic bridge, a Bigsby B60 vibrato, and die-cast tuners round out the limited-edition Gretsch G2655TG Streamliner Center Block Jr. Double-Cut with the expressive freedom you need.

Despite the aforementioned updates, the G2655TG Streamliner Center Block Jr. Double-Cut’s tonewoods of choice remain virtually unchanged — and for good reason! The lightweight, compact all-maple body of this double-cutaway semi-hollow guitar creates an incredibly bright and articulate platform for both projective acoustic strumming and detailed response when plugged in — all with minimal bulk for improved playing comfort. Sticking to the lightweight theme, the nato neck is carved with a Soft-C-shaped profile to provide a familiar feel in the hand that’s a guaranteed comfortable fit for guitarists of all styles.

Atop the neck sits the steadfast laurel fingerboard, boasting a 22-fret territory that’s perfectly tailored for your favorite tuning, from rock and jazz to western and beyond! The Broad’Tron humbucker is a lauded choice for a wide range of sounds and musical styles, and the BT-3S is no exception. Situated in both the neck and bridge positions, the BT-3S serves up ideal noise-free humbucking richness that’s smooth and tame at low volumes yet turns a corner for mammoth high-output tones when given some volume and muscle.

From Larry Carlton–style phrasing to Pete Townshend–like chording, you can channel just about any tone you please with a Master Volume, a Master Tone, and per-pickup Volume controls. Did we mention that the G2655TG Streamliner Center Block Jr. Double-Cut now coil splits? You’ve got access to not only a sweet set of humbuckers but also the option to engage sharper and characterful single-coil sounds at the mere pull of the Master Volume control knob.

Backing the brilliant build and boast-worthy tone of the G2655TG Streamliner Center Block Jr. Double-Cut is a gold-plated hardware set that looks incredible and performs just as well. Starting at the headstock, a set of sealed die-cast tuners enables players to own every musical moment without stressing over constant tuning issues. Down the body, a sturdy and easily adaptable Adjusto-matic bridge helps deliver maximum tonal purity at a settable height that’s comfortable for you. Lastly, a Bigsby B60 vibrato tailpiece anchors the G2655TG Streamliner Center Block Jr. Double-Cut, offering players the freedom to tone-dip as they please with glorious old-school warble.


Key Features:

MAPLE BODY WITH NEW CENTER BLOCK DESIGN:
The limited-edition G2655TG Center Block Jr. features a more compact arched maple body, with an all-new center block design under the top. This new center block is designed to combine the comfort of a lightweight instrument with a rich, full sound and increased presence; the result is improved attack and sustain, as well as excellent feedback rejection, all in a comfortable format that won’t weigh you down.

BROAD'TRON BT-3S PICKUPS:
The G2655TG is equipped with our high-output Broad'Tron BT-3S pickups. Thanks to a combination of Alnico 5 and Alnico 2 magnets, the BT-3S pickups deliver more powerful mids, precise yet rich bass, and clear, fluid highs that maintain a musical and harmonious presence.

VERSATILE CONTROLS WITH COIL-SPLIT FUNCTION:
The Streamliner’s sound is controlled and shaped by our traditional control layout: neck and bridge pickup volume controls, master tone control, master volume control, and a three-position pickup selector switch.

The addition of a push/pull potentiometer on the master volume control enables coil-splitting to deliver useful single-coil tones, adding a new dimension of sonic versatility to an already powerful tonal arsenal.
