Gretsch G6609: Classical Semi-acoustic Electric Guitar
For the construction of the Gretsch G6609 Broadkaster, Gretsch relies on the classic ingredients for a semi-acoustic electric guitar. Accordingly, the body is made of maple laminate, whereby the back and top are connected by a centre block with chambers, so that no feedback occurs even at high volumes and the wood resonance in the sound typical of this construction is maintained. The glued maple neck lies comfortably in the hand with the well rounded "Standard U"-profile and lets every lick between the 22 frets of the rosewood fingerboard slip easily out of your fingers while playing the electric guitar.
Two Gretsch Full'Tron humbuckers with typical Gretsch gears promise versatile sounds.
Gretsch Full'Tron Humbucker
Two Gretsch Full'Tron Humbuckers are used as pickups in the neck and bridge position on the Gretsch G6609 Players Edition Broadkaster. With their lively dynamics and extremely wide frequency spectrum, these pickups capture the woody resonance of semi-acoustic construction perfectly and transmit it to the amplifier, so that expressive guitar playing in the wide spectrum of blues and rock'n'roll is no obstacle. Additional tonal variability is also provided by the typical Gretsch circuit consisting of a 3-way toggle, individual volume controls for each pickup as well as master volume and master tone controls.
Gotoh Locking tuners promise a precise tuning and make string changes easier.
Hardware equipment with modern functionality
High-quality hardware equipment that combines classic looks with contemporary functionality completes the Gretsch G6609 Broadkaster from the Players Edition. The combination of "V"-Stoptail and Gretsch Adjusto-Matic bridge sits accordingly on the body, which ensures a perfect intonation and string position in addition to the excellent vibration transmission. From the bridge the strings with 24.6" scale length (625 mm) run towards the headstock, on which they are guided via a Graphtech saddle to the Gotoh locking mechanisms. These not only guarantee an absolutely precise tuning of the electric guitar, but also make string changes extremely comfortable.
The Gretsch G6609 Players Edition Broadkaster is delivered with Gretsch form case and certificate.
