Description
The Gretsch Broadkaster Jr. LX Figured Center Block with Bigsby in Tropic Aura gives you the same versatile semi-hollow platform, but in a much bolder look. That deep green gloss finish-paired with gold hardware-really stands out under stage lights. Like the Caramel Dawn version, this one's aimed at players who want Gretsch tone with high-gain control, fast playability, and a slightly smaller, lighter body.
All the performance specs carry over. The flame maple body features a center block made of maple and spruce for tight lows and punchy mids. Pro Twin Six humbuckers give you clarity and richness whether you're running clean or stacking gain. The control setup is flexible but not fussy: two individual pickup volumes, a treble-bleed master volume, and a no-load tone control. The Bigsby B7GP and Adjusto-Matic bridge are smooth and stable, with a string-thru design that makes restringing way easier than older setups.
This model feels super dialed-in. The medium jumbo frets, 12" radius, and 24.6" scale make it really forgiving, especially for players who like bending and expressive vibrato. It's a Made in Japan build, and it shows in the tight fit and finish and overall feel. Between the tuning stability and sleek feel, this one is ready for night-after-night stage use. The Tropic Aura finish just adds a little flair without stepping too far outside the classic Gretsch vibe.
