Gretsch G2655 Streamliner Center Block Jr. Doublecut - Single Barrel Stain Review

Nice!

I've had this guitar for about a month. It came very well packed and aside from a quick tune it was ready to play. Absolutely no flaws in the finish. For those with small hands it feels and plays as well as my strat. Very comfortable. The tone unplugged is amazing, with a very rich sound and plenty loud. Sounds good thru my little practice amp as well. Couldn't be happier with this… read more guitar.

Happy with purchase

This guitar is very nice indeed: good, solid, clear tone from a variety of amplifiers. Playability is excellent, It's a junior size so it fits practically anywhere to play, comfortable to hold (a tad neck heavy at first, due to the semi-hollow body, which is to be expected. I got used to the neck immediately). Very nice to look at, and it was a good fair price. Packaging was… read more well thought out and it arrived safely. Then there's the customer service, which is heads and shoulders above anyone else out there. The guitar sold me on itself, but the company sold me on future purchases from Sweetwater.

Punches way above it's weight!!

I had seen these before of course, but they never really registered on me. Gretsch seems to have more more models than anyone else on the planet. There seems to be no end to them, so I am overwhelmed when picking one out to try out. I am also one of those guys that looks at Gretsch's and always have to see the price tag first because it seems like two nearly identical guitars can… read more be hanging next to each other… But anyway, I saw one these single barrel stained beauties at my local independent dealer, and it was very interesting looking. Honestly, I never even plugged it in. I sat down for a couple of minutes and played it unplugged, and was blown away. Very loud acoustic tones, I just knew it would sing when it was plugged in. I got home and plugged it into my Peavey Delta blues, and it was heaven. Perfect smooth chunky neck, gorgeous fretboard with big block inlays and acceptable fret end work… It is SUPER light weight too. A nice sounding affordable option if you have back problems. Thankfully I don't, but still appreciate the feather like weight of it. The pickups sound great too. It does seem to lose quite a bit of treble when the volume is turned down, and the knobs are getting replaced with chrome Gretsch knobs as soon as they arrive. Sorry they lost me completely at the knobs, wow they're ugly. Other than those two acceptable faults, this is an outstanding guitar for the price.

Super versatile guitar.

I'm an 18 year old guitarist and I wanted to start off my credit by buying a new guitar and I couldn't be more happy with the purchase I made. This guitar plays amazingly and is super comfortable to play on it. This guitar is inspiring me to play even more since it's my second guitar and this one I'll pay it with my hard work and sweat. If anyone is thinking in buying it, go for… read more it. It's a great investment and a super versatile guitar. By the way, Christian Good made sure my guitar arrived in time and in good shape. Thank you!

A KEEPER GUITAR

The G-2655 has beautiful clarity and balance between strings. It's a relatively bright sounding instrument with a thin neck, not as thin as some of the Ibanez shredder necks but quite comfortable. I'm a jazz student playing mostly "clean. The guitar's bright tonality can be toned down to a "smooth jazz" character while still retaining clarity, balance and beauty. The neck is… read more long and a bit heavy but neck dive doesn't seem to be a problem. It retains tune well. I'm glad I bought it.
