Description
Previously applied to banjos and drums, Gretsch's "Broadkaster" is now synonymous with their premier center block guitars. This particular Broadkaster, the G6609TFM Players Edition, sports a white Laminated Maple body that, combined with its gold binding and hardware, makes for a striking aesthetic. The G6609TG also has a chambered spruce center block and standard "U" shaped neck that make it incredibly comfortable and easy to play. USA-made Full'Tron pickups make this guitar sound great as well, making everything from classic chime to growling overdrive achievable.
About the Guitar (from gretsch.com):
Gretsch's time-honored "Broadkaster" name now adorns the flagship guitars of its center block lineup, crafted for full-spectrum sound at high volume with powerful new pickups and a chambered spruce center block that enhances body resonance for more organic tone and comfortably lighter weight.
Built to perform, the G6609TG Players Edition Broadkaster�� Center Block Double-Cut with String-Thru Bigsby�� and Gold Hardware features a double-cutaway body in handsome Cadillac Green and Vintage White finishes, both with gleaming gold hardware. These models feature the all-new U.S.-made Full'Tron��� pickups that deliver full-spectrum sonic range with distinctive snarl, in addition to classic Gretsch chime, balance and brilliance with slightly more pronounced mid concentration that brings even more tonal muscle to full-volume playing with overdrive and distortion.
