Versatile semi-hollow tone and fast playability from a streamlined Gretsch guitar.
The Gretsch G2655 Streamliner Center Block Jr. Double-Cut electric guitar gives you classic Gretsch style in a smaller, more affordable package. With its arched maple top, back and sides, plus a solid spruce center block, this guitar resonates and sustains like a full-size hollowbody at a fraction of the size. The G2655 Streamliner Jr. is designed for guitarists who want bold tone and playability without compromising portability or value.
Chambered Maple Construction Produces Resonant Sound
The G2655 Streamliner Jr. features a maple top, back and sides with a solid spruce center block that is chambered for enhanced resonance and reduced weight. This construction dramatically improves sustain and responsiveness over a solidbody while avoiding the potential feedback issues of a fully hollow design. The result is a vibration-rich tone with piano-like resonance and articulation.
All-New Broad'Tron Pickups Deliver Iconic Gretsch Tone
This guitar comes equipped with a pair of Broad'Tron BT-2S humbucking pickups that provide the articulate, balanced tone Gretsch hollowbodies are known for. The Broad'Trons capture the high-end sparkle and focused midrange of classic Gretsch pickups while smoothing out the lower end for a versatile sound that handles anything from jazz to rockabilly to hard rock.
V-Stop Tailpiece and Adjusto-Matic Bridge Provide Rock-Solid Intonation
For tuning stability and sustain, the G2655 Streamliner Jr. comes equipped with an Adjusto-Matic bridge and anchored V-Stop tailpiece. The Adjusto-Matic bridge features individual string saddles for precise intonation, while the V-Stop tailpiece improves resonance by securely mounting the strings to the guitar's body. Together, these components keep your guitar in tune and sounding its best.
Other Premium Appointments
The G2655 comes equipped with premium components usually found on much more expensive guitars. These include a real bone nut, Adjusto-Matic bridge for solid intonation and a Bigsby-licensed V-stop tailpiece that adds subtle vibrato shimmer. The 12"-radius laurel fingerboard features pearloid thumbnail inlays and 22 medium-jumbo frets for silky playability.
