Gretsch G2655 Streamliner Center Block Jr. Midnight Sapphire
The exhilarating Gretsch G2655 Streamliner Center Block Jr. Double-Cut with V-Stoptail is designed for three simple things. You get 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 the tone that’s been a vital component of rock ‘n’ roll since its inception. 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, the G2655 stands out from the pack.
HIGHLIGHTS:
The secret to the Streamliner’s sound is twofold – the Broad’Tron™ BT-2S humbucking pickup and the mahogany center block. Designed specifically for the Streamliner Collection, the high-output Broad’Tron pickup spawns improved definition with tighter bass response. Enjoy robust lows, pristine highs and a throaty midrange.
A lightweight chambered mahogany 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 with neck and bridge pickup volume controls. Plis, there’s 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.
