Gretsch G5655T-QM Electromatic Center Block Jr. Single-Cut Quilted Maple with Bigsby, Sweet Tea Overview
The Gretsch G5655TQM Electromatic Center Block Jr. is an agile single-cutaway electric guitar with a gorgeous quilted Maple top that delivers a bold, punchy and powerful tone via its Black Top Broad’Tron humbuckers.
Agile Single-Cut Guitar
The G5655TQM Electromatic Center Block Jr. Single-Cut with Bigsby is a Gretsch electric guitar that’s designed to take on high volume and intense playing sessions without breaking a sweat. Like other models in the Electromatic Center Block Jr. range, the Gretsch G5655TQM features a smaller-sized body that’s lightweight, comfortable and easy to handle.
Stunning Quilted Maple Top
The core of the Gretsch G5655TQM electric guitar is its Maple construction, which delivers a distinctively bright, crisp and clear character with impressive sustain. The quilted Maple top imparts a luxurious and sophisticated look that’s complimented by the classic Gretsch styling. A chambered Spruce centre block ensures a resonant, dynamic tone that can handle tonnes of gain.
Gretsch present the G5655T-QM in a variety of beautiful finishes, including Hudson Sky, Sweet Tea, Speyside and Mariana.
Effortless Playability
The lower-set Maple neck provides effortless access to the higher frets. A smooth 12"-radius Laurel fretboard topped with 22 Medium Jumbo frets offers outstanding playability whilst the Neo-Classic thumbnail inlays keep your fretting hand on track.
Broad’Tron Humbuckers
Gretsch equip the G5655TQM Electromatic Center Block Jr. with an authentic Bigsby bridge, which allows you to introduce lush vibrato to your chords. The two Black Top Broad’Tron humbucking pickups boast a fat, bold tone with plenty of bark. A host of controls at your fingertips, including individual pickup controls, a master tone and a master tone with treble bleed circuit, let you sculpt your tone on-the-fly.
