Gretsch G2622 Streamliner Center Block Double Cut Electric Guitar, V Stoptail, Burnt Orchid

The Gretsch G2622 Streamliner Center Block Double Cut features an arched, laminated maple top, back, and sides. The body sports a double-cut design that allows easier access to higher frets while evoking classic Gretsch aesthetic and features a center block running its length. The incorporation of this block separates a hollow-body from a semi-hollow guitar and reduces feedback while enhancing sustain, two qualities that make these G2622 Streamliner semi-hollow guitars far more suited for high-gain music than their fully hollow counterparts.

The G2622's Nato neck is carved to a notoriously comfortable soft "C" profile and is host to a laurel fingerboard, topped with pearloid Neo-Classic thumbnail inlays. The fingerboard offers a 12" radius, and 22 medium jumbo frets that provide a "best of both worlds" fret style that's not too big or small, making for a fingerboard that's comfortable to the fretting hand.

Broad'Tron BT-3S bridge and neck pickups are also largely responsible for this guitar's nuanced tone, producing robust midrange, extended low frequencies, and a clear but velvety high end. This combination results in an ideal blend of power and comprehensive fidelity, all simply handled by versatile controls, including two Volume pots and a Master Tone/Volume pot. Gretsch puts an emphasis on the electronics in the G2622, with the incorporation of a push/pull pot that enables coil splitting and allows players to achieve a single-coil-esque pickup sound using humbuckers.

Finished in a beautiful Burnt Orchid, the gloss body and neck are home to a V-Stoptail tailpiece, a 3-ply tortoise shell pickguard, Gretsch Radio Knobs, and aged white neck and body binding, with B/W/B purfling. With a legacy dating back to the early 1950s, Gretsch continues to produce exceedingly well-playing, affordable instruments.
