Product Description:

The exhilarating G2655T Streamliner Center Block Jr. Double-Cut with Bigsby is designed for three simple things-high gain-friendly performance, slick, easy playability and spectacular style. A sleek music machine, the G2655T cranks out the hits with updated features while staying true to That Great Gretsch Sound! that's been a vital component of rock 'n' roll since its inception. The secret to the Streamliner's sound is twofold-the Broad'Tron BT-2S humbucking pickup and the spruce center block. Designed specifically for the Streamliner Collection, the high-output Broad'Tron pickup spawns improved definition with tighter bass response for robust lows, pristine highs and a throaty midrange. A lightweight spruce center block runs the length of the body, reinforcing the top while eliminating undesired feedback for volume-friendly performance on modern stages. The Streamliner's sonic power is harnessed and shaped by the traditional control layout-neck and bridge pickup volume controls, a master tone control, master volume control and three-way pickup switching. Add some shimmer and expression to your playing with the Bigsby-licensed B50 vibrato tailpiece, while the anchored Adjusto-Matic bridge and synthetic bone nut grant astounding tuning stability and accurate, slip-free intonation. A fast-playing 12"-radius laurel fingerboard with elegant pearloid Big Block inlays and 22 medium jumbo frets sits atop the white-bound neck with a thin "U"-shaped profile-ideal for chord work or fiery riffing. All the classic eye-catching style you've come to expect from Gretsch is here-vintage-style black control knobs, enlarged F-holes for increased acoustic projection, elegant aged white binding with upgraded purfling, slick-looking nickel hardware, three-ply black pickguard and arched laminated maple construction. Easy to play while rocking out thanks to its smaller body, the G2655T is a phenomenal instrument for the modern musician who wants to control the stage and the audience while standing out from the pack.

They're closing out models from several years ago. The quality on these is really really good. I own two streamliners from this era and they're fantastic guitars. I'm tempted by this one too, since it has a smaller body than my other Streamliners.

It's no more complicated to adjust the tuning on this guitar than any other, but you may be adjusting it pretty often especially while you break it in.

If you're brand new you may want to pass on this in favor of a hardtail model, they do come up for sale pretty often. The Bigsby is great for eye candy but unless you really want to actually use it, I don't think it's worth the added cost, weight and complication.

Spend the money you save on a nice clip-on tuner and a few sets of strings.

I think with the price being this low, the Bigsby is essentially free. As in, $229 is the lowest you're gonna see the hard tails go and that's a stretch.

Bottom line -

Specs alone are worth more than the sum total/ Got mine yesterday, fit and finish like mex charvel
Noobees stay away from this. You might just ruin your start and end quickly and no if the bigsbee is there you will use it. The dark side of the force will consume you
So buy to hang - "The Guitar, No case candy which is fine by me" - "Play if comfy with strat trems only

For those with tuning issues:

1 - replace the Bigsby spring
2 - put on $60 locking tuners
3 - oil/lube the nut

I've had mine for a few months now, and it'll stay in tune even if I dive bomb with the Bigsby

graphite the nut

Anyone else with one of these Streamliners having issues keeping their output jack tight? I think they forgot the locking washer inside mine which sucks because it's a huge pain to work on these. If you keep letting the jack spin around eventually the wire will break. I ended up putting silicone adhesive around the output jack nut as a fix to keep it in place. Not permanent and doesn't seem to mess with the finish.

I wish they had a semihollow model without bigsby on sale. I can barely play (started learning at nearly 40) and I'm a bit worried that bigsby adds unnecessary complexity to keep it tuned. I would not be able to use bigsby in the foreseeable future.

They have one without Bigsby on sale also
