Gretsch G2655 Streamliner Center Block Jr Electric Guitar, Steel Olive

Junior in size but massive in tone, the Gretsch G2655 Streamliner Center Block Jr offers iconic semi-hollow sound at an affordable price, equipped with Broad'Tron pickups and push/pull functionality to deliver a versatile, reliable tool for all genres from rock to pop, punk to jazz, and beyond.

The G2655 is constructed from arched laminated maple to form both the top as well as the back and sides. Touting a double-cutaway silhouette, dual F-holes, and gloss finished with a Steel Olive top, the aesthetics are a stellar as the sounds in this Streamliner. The chambered center block guitar emanates robust semi-hollow tones, with excellent, balanced resonance that is applicable to most playing styles.

Continuing this fantastic Gretsch build, we find a nato gloss-finished neck in the Soft "C" profile, offering comfortable playing with a good palm feel—slick and dexterous for quick, dynamic transitions. Topping the neck is a laurel fingerboard adorned with 22 medium jumbo frets and Neo Classic thumbnail inlays. Joining the fingerboard to the headstock is a genuine bone nut, leading to die-cast sealed tuning machines to ensure accurate pitch stability.

This specific Streamliner Jr features an Adjusto-Matic bridge and V-Stop tailpiece, a combination which provides the performance a modern player demands—comfortable on the palm when muting, and intuitive for setups and routine adjustments. Supplying excellent string-to-body vibration, this suite of hardware installed on the G2655 is reliable and effortlessly musical.

Amplifying the Streamliner's iconic voice are a set of Broad'Tron BT-3S humbucking pickups (featured in the neck and bridge positions), a vintage-styled pair that give a slight edge when running hot on the volume and projecting crystal clean when eased up. Additionally, the master volume knob features a push/pull mechanism that activate coil-splitting to turn the humbuckers into single-coil sweetness. With a volume control for each pickup, master volume, master tone, and a 3-way pickup selector, it's never been easier to achieve a powerful semi-hollow tone.

Thoughtfully crafted with premium tone at an affordable price, the Gretsch G2655 Streamliner Center Block Jr is the perfect addition to an eclectic guitar collection.
