The Gretsch G2655T Streamliner Center Block Jr. (Fairlane Blue) is a compact semi-acoustic electric guitar with comfortable handling and a wide sound spectrum that produces tones between blues and rock. The narrow double-cut body is made of laminated Maple and delivers a warm, woody tone, which is insensitive to feedback even at high stage volumes thanks to the solid centre block. On the body 2x Gretsch Broad'Tron humbuckers produce hot sounds, which enables expressive guitar playing with lively dynamics and high assertiveness with the vocal midrange spectrum. The distinctive Bigsby tailpiece offers classic Vibrato effects alongside the iconic looks that come with it.
The main features of the Gretsch G2655T Streamliner Center Block Jr. (Fairlane Blue) include:
Received the guitar about 4 days after ordering, well packaged so for it not to be damaged, which it wasn’t. Received the Carry case a few days later. Perfectly happy with the order and the guitar. It’s well manufactured and feels, looks and plays just great.
For under 500 bucks, a baby Gretsch Wonderful , all thats left is to learn to play it ! only had acoustic before.
Gretsch's roots in brighter tones are clear here even though the guitar performs at its best with high gain. Perfect for punk rock/ alternative and a myriad of genres.
This a great guitar if you are looking to get that classic Gretsch sound at a reasonable price. There are a wide variety of sounds which can be achieved from it, from twang to a wonderfully warm break up with the help of an overdrive pedal. It is very light and comfortable to play. The only let down with it, and this is purely subjective, is that the gloss finish masks the detail in the wood and dare I say it, makes it look a bit cheap. A matte finish and lighter stain, in my view, would have lifted the aesthetics to another level.
Would certainly use dv247 again. In contact by email from time of ordering, delivery and packaging spot on. Extremely happy with product, arrived quickly and in pristine condition
