Gretsch G2655T Streamliner Center Block Jr. Review

Fun, fun, fun!

I received this guitar as a present and have to say I have never held anything similar. It is one of the lightest guitars that I have come across and the design makes the neck seem short making the whole scale easily accessible. Don't tell the person that purchased it for me but I am not a big tremolo guy so probably would have gone with the V-Stoptail if I had purchased it myself.… read more That being said it stays in tune well and has a versatile sound that is crisp when clean but can also get crunchy and make many stops in between.

Gretsch 2655T

I had wanted this guitar for many years, when it arrived it was flaulous. Right out of the box it was set up and played perfectly. This guitar is so light, the finish is perfect, and the sound is so rich. The coustumer service from Sweetwater was superior. Thank you for a superb purchase.

Beautiful and amazing sounding

I have ordered from Sweetwater a few times now.. And ever time they do a stand out job making your order perfect. This guitar looks beautiful and sounds amazing. You could easily look at it and think it is a thousand dollar guitar: It plays just as good as my Gibson les Paul. Very happy with it thank you Sweetwater!!

My Favorite Guitar

Bought this little thing on a whim, just wanting to try out the Broad-Trons after hearing countless players rip through them. Flash forward 3 years, and it's my main guitar and perhaps one of my best purchases made. There's a common misconception that Gretsch guitars are only good for rockabilly/country. This is stupid. Go buy any one of these guitars. NOW. You will thank me.

Remarkable Guitar

Out of the box, beautiful, easy to play and sounds amazing. I couldn't be happier with this decision. The bonus is the ease of this transaction and the assistance provided by Cory from Sweetwater. The customer service is over the top!

Outstanding !

In appearance alone this guitar is beautiful. The Fairlane Blue color is metallic which really contributes to its look. The Bigsby adds extra class. Playability is very good and is one of my favorite guitars. Fast shipping and great customer support from Sweetwater.

Fantastic Guitar

This is just a wonderful guitar. And I don't just mean wonderful "for the price." It's just a plain-old wonderful playing + sounding guitar. Sounds like a Gretsch, which should be enough to say. The pickups are great. With a genuine, expected difference between the neck and the bridge. It is beautifully put together. -- fit + finish appears to be perfect after 7 weeks of… read more daily play. The neck is lovely. Felt a little big the first couple of weeks, but now it feels perfect. I love the "flat" 12 inch radius. The tuners hold it in tune. The paint job if flawless and gorgeous. The blue is really a nice color. I really believe anyone would get pleasure playing the 2655 Streamliner. I play it through Fender tube amps ---- Princetons, Blues Jr., SuperSonic ---- and it meshes with them perfectly. Very good for rock, blues, jazz, and country (which I don't really play, but it should be great for Country --- It's a Gretsch! ) This guitar well exceeds my expectation.

Appealing to the Eye as well as the Ear

This Guitar was purchased for me by my wife. It came set up with strings, and after tuning up, it was ready to play. We haven't even had to adjust the neck or the intonation. Produces smooth, almost creamy tone from all 3 toggle settings. Smart, convenient design. Playability on the neck is perfect, and the reaching the all fret notes where the neck joins the body is no problem.… read more Easy chording all along the fretboard. We decided to order Sweetwaters recommended String set for this guitar. The company recommended a set of 10 gauge strings. I absolutely recommend this Gretsch.

Perfection is real

I'd been playing my Eastwood Airline Coronado DLX for 8 years. I tried for years to find something that played as nice. Gibsons, Fenders, you name it. I had over the past 6 years bought a Gretsch boxcar and Jim dandy acoustics and loved them. I decided to give this Streamliner a try and I have NEVER played something this perfect before. This guitar has the perfect balance of refinement… read more and edge. It's clean sustain sounds blended with a raw inner monster makes this guitar incredibly versital. Rock, blues, country, literally everything sounds better played through it
