GRETSCH G2655TG-P90 Streamliner Center Block Jr. DC Riviera Blue Satin
Limited Streamliner Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar with Bigsby B50 Vibrato and Gold Hardware
The strictly limited Gretsch G2655TG-P90 Streamliner Center Block Jr. in the stunning Riviera Blue Satin Finish delivers classic Gretsch sounds and proven feel in all registers. The fast Semi-Hollow with Centerblock relies on a laminated maple body and the full sound of a P90 on the bridge as well as a powerful Broad'Tron neck humbucker, while noble gold hardware with Bigsby B50 vibrato, Adjusto-Matic bridge and solid die-cast mechanics complements the G2655TG-P90 Streamliner Jr. not only functionally but also visually harmoniously.
The Gretsch G2655TG-P90 Streamliner Centerblock Jr. Double Cut Riviera Blue Satin comes in a stunning finish and delivers first-class Rock'n'Roll sounds with its powerful pickup setup.
P90 & Broad'Tron Pickups
The sound character of the G2655TG Streamliner is formed by the interplay between a classically wide-wound P90 single spooler on the bridge, the powerful Broad'Tron neck pickup and a solid spruce center block. Accordingly, the Streamliner Jr. can also show its strengths in higher distortion levels without having to fear annoying feedback noises.
Bigsby B-50 Gold Finish Vibrato
The entire hardware equipment of the G2655TG-P90 Streamliner Center Block Jr., from the die-cast mechanisms on the headstock to the lower belt pin, is uniformly held in the noble gold finish. For the limited G2655TG Streamliner Jr. in the Riviera Blue Satin Finish, Gretsch also donated a Bigsby B50 vibrato system, which, in collaboration with the adjustable Adjusto-Matic bridge in terms of string height and intonation, provides classically shimmering vibrato sounds and, of course, the traditional Gretsch vintage look.
Overview:

Semi-Hollow construction with solid spruce center block
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.

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.
