Incredible Quality. Period.
A lot of Gretsch reviews, especially for Streamliners, talk about their great quality but tack on the caveat "for the money". I'm going to go ahead and say that does a disservice to the products this company puts out. My 2622T came perfectly set up out of the box with beautiful fretwork (better than on some American Fenders I've seen in stores), plays beautifully and sounds amazing.… read more The Broad'Tron pickups may be closer to standard humbuckers than Filter'Trons but they still have excellent tone and clarity. Light weight and beautiful finish. The only thing that could be better is the input jack is a little loose so I have to loop the cord through my strap to ensure it stays put (but I do that anyway!)
Love, Love, Love
I have always been interested in hollow/semi-hollow electric guitars but have been hesitant because I never felt the look of these fit my style when I was younger. Now that I'm older, I appreciate many things about the look of this guitar; the chrome hardware such as the Bigsby, the whammy bar, and the pickups are my favorite. I'm so glad I ordered this one because I love strumming… read more and playing without plugging it in. I play along to small Bluetooth speakers in my office and have a blast and it's much quieter than my acoustic guitar...but still gives me a legitimate sound, unlike playing a regular electric guitar unplugged.
Bigsby tuning issue
Overall the guitar sounds great but I did make modifications to correct the tuning issues. I obtained a roller bridge for this guitar... and installed it, Lightly sanded the "Nut" groves and installed a "Tuning Stabilizer" from "bricksbiggsfix" to lessen the string angle from the Bigsby roller to the bridge. I no longer have a tuning issue with this guitar and everything works and… read more sounds great. I'm very pleased with my selection.
