Gretsch G5655TG Electromatic Center Block Jr. Single-Cut Amethyst IL Semi-Acoustic Guitar
Product no: 9000-0113-6489 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

The Gretsch G5655TG Electromatic Centerblock Junior is an undeniably gorgeous semi-acoustic guitar from the Electromatic Series. A little slimmer than other semi-acoustic guitars, the G5655TG comes with a high level of playing comfort while producing that full-sized, fat Gretsch sound. The maple body has an Amethyst finish and matching gold-plated hardware, including an Adjusto-Matic bridge with Bigsby B70 tailpiece.

The G5655TG: A Feedback-Countering Centerblock and Black Top Broad’Tron Pickups

Since this is a Centerblock Junior-style model, it's built with a solid piece of pine that runs down the middle and essentially divides the resonance chamber in two. As a result, feedback is minimised even when overdrive is kicked in. Mounted with two Black Top Broad'Tron pickups, the G5655TG generates powerful tone supported by plenty of punch and more than enough articulation and dynamics to ensure that any rhythm or lead parts poke right through the mix.

Gretsch Introduces the Vintage Select and Player Editions

Friday 29 January 2016

Gretsch fans can roughly be divided into two groups. On the one hand you have the purists who think the specifications from the 1950s and 1960s - the Gretsch heydays - are beyond dispute. On the other hand, you have the more practically minded guitarists who like to make modifications to their instruments. Luckily, both camps are being catered to with Gretsch's new series: the Vintage Select Editions and the Players Editions. Go for a modern classic like the G6118T-SGR or travel back in time to 1962 with the Gretsch G6119T-62GE!
