The
Gretsch G2622T Streamliner Center Block with Bigsby is an affordable
semi-hollow guitar with some serious rock potential! With its
high-output Broad’Tron BT-2S humbuckers and centre block, semi-hollow
construction the G2622T Streamliner is packed full of versatility and
playability!
Center Block Body
This is the double cut version of Gretsch’s “Center Block” body,
which is a laminated maple hollow body with a chambered spruce centre
block which cuts down on unwanted feedback whilst maintaining some of
the tonal qualities that hollow bodies provide. With a centre block
guitar you can benefit from the warmer, more resonant tone provided by
the hollow sections but still be able to turn up the gain and rock out!
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 vibrato tailpiece is another classic Gretsch feature on
this guitar. Not only does it look cool, the Bigsby allows you to throw
some subtle pitch shifting into your playing.
