Description
The Gretsch Broadkaster Jr. LX Figured Center Block with Bigsby in Caramel Dawn delivers vintage-inspired looks with modern performance features, all wrapped into a more compact semi-hollow package. The warm burst finish pairs up perfectly with gold hardware, giving it that classy, upscale look without going overboard. This one's for players who want classic Gretsch chime and growl, but need a tighter body shape and better feedback control at stage volume.
Everything under the hood is designed to punch above its weight. The flame maple body features a maple and spruce Channel Core center block that helps keep the tone clear and focused even when you're cranking the gain. A pair of Pro Twin Six humbuckers dishes out everything from clear, articulate clean tones to more aggressive midrange snarl. It's got a no-load tone control, treble bleed master volume, and two individual volume controls for precise blending. And with a Bigsby B7GP and string-thru design, you get smooth vibrato response with easier string changes than traditional setups.
The playability is exactly what you'd expect from a Made in Japan Gretsch. The 24.6" scale, medium jumbo frets, and rolled ebony board make it feel fast and familiar right away. Locking Gotoh tuners and a TUSQ nut keep things stable, and the whole thing is built to withstand the rigors of regular gigging. If you want a workhorse semi-hollow that leans classic but plays clean and tight, this one's got you covered.
