When you hear the name "Broadkaster" the first word that should come to mind is, versatile. And if it didn't before, it will now. With it's chambered spruce center block, Full'Tron pickups and a String-thru Bigsby this guitar can produce a full range of tones and sounds. Whether you're looking for a beefy low-end punch, a sparkling top-end chime or anything in-between the G6659TG will deliver. Plus it's classic Vintage White finish and dazzling gold hardware, this is another stunning addition to Gretsch's "Broadkaster" line-up.
From Gretsch:
Gretsch’s time-honored “Broadkaster” name now adorns the ���agship 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.
For big sound in a small package, the G6659TG Players Edition Broadkaster® Jr. Center Block with String-Thru Bigsby® and Gold Hardware features a slightly smaller single-cutaway body for greater comfort, tonal focus and feedback resistance. Two new U.S.-made Full’Tron pickups deliver full-spectrum sonic range with a growl unlike any other pickup, in addition to classic Gretsch chime, balance and brilliance with a dash of extra-mid concentration for powering through overdriven and distorted passages at full volume.
The G6659TG is available in a classic Vintage White fnish, decked out with a matching headstock, tortoise pickguard and gleaming gold hardware.
