Center Block Jr. Body

The body design is what Gretsch call a “Center Block Jr.” These guitars are smaller than a regular Gretsch Center Block guitar and are a lot less cumbersome to play. The smaller body size, in combination with the chambered spruce center block, makes the guitar far more stable at higher volume and gain levels. Center Block Jrs are rock machines that allow you to enjoy the warmth and resonance of a semi-hollow without worrying about unwanted feedback, especially when you turn up the gain.

The neck on the guitar is comfortable to play thanks to a few things. The thin “U” profile neck has rounded shoulders which is great for playing chords and wrapping your thumb around the neck, but the thinner profile makes it less cumbersome than a traditional “U” shape neck. This thinner profile, in combination with the 12” radius fingerboard also makes single note runs a breeze.

Pickups and Hardware

This guitar is loaded with Gretsch’s Broad’Tron BT-2S humbuckers, designed specifically for the Streamliner Collection. These pickups are high output with good low, mid, and high-end response with plenty of clarity in the highs that balances well with the natural warmth of the body. The Broad’Tron BT-2S pickups are well suited for classic country sounds all the way to punchy rock tones.

The Bigsby B50 vibrato tailpiece helps complete the classic Gretsch aesthetic; not only does it look cool, the Bigsby allows you to throw some subtle pitch shifting into your playing.

So excited to get this guitar and it doesn't disappoint. Straight out of the box it's set set up really well and the first unplugged strum says it all, perfect! Once plugged in it has that lovely loud, clear sound which is vibrant and warm. The finish on the guitar, Imperial Stain, is just superb, a lovely guitar I can't put down.

I am very pleased with this guitar. Tone's great, looks great, finish is great, plays well, wood grain is stunning. Tuners, not sure. Control knobs, dreadfull, cheap and poorly finished, seriously let the whole thing down in my opinion. I had allready decided to order up some Gretsch nickel fittings, I bet I'm not the only one. I know I have bought at the entry level for Gretsch (my only way in). And I wonder if this was a conscious decision, the only way they could "downgrade" this model - the rest of it seems beautifully made. But in the factory what difference in bottom line cost ? Stick another 15 quid on the purchase price, ice the cake... Worth the Fith Star ?

Miss Jasmine Faller2nd Jun 2019

I didn't realise that a lot of guitar finishes look waaaay better in person than in photos and videos - wouldn't have considered this guitar if I was shopping online. It's now my favourite!
