This Gretsch G2622T Streamliner Center Block Double-Cut is an addition to the Streamliner Series that combines classic Gretsch elements with modern functionality to create a guitar that’s versatile enough for contemporary players while sporting the Gretsch aesthetic that players have come to love over decades.
The body of this guitar is made fully from laminated maple and features a center block construction, using a cut of wood that runs the length of the interior to enhance sustain and suppress feedback, while offering a semi-hollow body style that can handle higher amounts of gain than its fully hollow counterparts. Featuring two F-holes, the body boasts a slim depth of only 1.75″ and is host to a sleek Aged White binding around its perimeter, continuing up the neck and to its headstock. A set neck joint connects its body to the neck. It also sports a Bigsby B70 tailpiece for the ability to produce vibrato confidently, staying in tune.
The G2622T Streamliner’s neck screams classic Gretsch through and through, and is cut to a cozy soft “C” shape from Nato, known for its stability and resistance to warping over time. On the neck, a laurel fingerboard with a 12″ radius is divided by 22 medium jumbo frets, and features Pearloid Neo-Classic inlays that sit at the very top of the fingerboard, met with black position inlays on the side of the neck.
Under the hood of this player-grade guitar reside two of Gretsch’s own Broad’Tron BT-3S pickups, both covered in nickel. These pickups utilize Alnico 5 and Alnico 2 magnets, and combined with the semi-hollow style body create stronger a Gretsch signature sound that offers strong and present mids, tight, full lows, and smooth highs that cut enough but aren’t overwhelming. These pickups are easily controlled by a 3-way switch, and master and tone knobs, featuring a unique coil-splitting toggle to experience single coil pickups sounds from these BT-3S beauties.
The guitar’s body and neck feature a gloss finish in Abbey Ale, and the Adjusto-Matic bridge, 3-ply tortoise pickguard, and Gretsch Radio knobs all add to its charming, vintage-inspire aesthetic.
