A Streamliner Designed for the Gretsch Spirit... in a Modern Version
The Streamliner series revisits Gretsch's aesthetic and sonic DNA with a performance-oriented approach. The G2655T Streamliner Center Block Jr. fits this logic: a laminated maple body with a classic look, enhanced by a center block for better sustain at high volume, and modern equipment (BT-3S, coil split) to cover more tonal ranges without losing the brand's distinctive style.
Who Is This G2655T Streamliner For?
This Gretsch is aimed at advanced beginners to intermediate guitarists (and experienced players looking for a compact semi-hollow), who want a versatile and expressive guitar. It excels in rock, blues, pop, indie, and all styles that appreciate a crisp attack, rich chords, and musical vibrato. The double cutaway and 12" radius also facilitate lead playing and bends.
The Sound
The arched laminated maple body provides brightness and clear definition, while the Center Block design helps control feedback and improves sustain when the amp starts to push. The two Broad'Tron BT-3S deliver a solid output level, with well-controlled lows and present highs, making the guitar very effective for both rhythm and solo playing. Thanks to the independent volumes (one per pickup), the master volume, and the overall tone control, you can easily balance the neck/bridge pickup mix. The coil split via push/pull opens up airier textures for more detailed arpeggios or punchier rhythms.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To maintain the original string tension, you can stick with .010-.046 electric strings (nickel steel) to preserve the guitar's feel and balance. For other accessories (case/gig bag, strap, etc.), compatibility depends on exact dimensions and chosen attachment systems.
