Description

Forming part of the Gretsch Streamliner collection, the smaller bodied G2655 Streamliner Centre-Block Double-Cut puts one of Gretsch’s most iconic designs into the hands of players at any level.

Designed to offer the authentic Gretsch sound and aesthetics in combination with a sleek modern feel, this semi-hollow Streamliner is perfect for players seeking a guitar that can do it all. Featuring a duo of Broad’Tron BT-3S humbuckers with push/pull coil splitting, a comfortable soft C-shaped neck, in combination with a real bone nut, this versatile workhorse is made to perform!

Key Features

Signature Gretsch Tone – Broad’Tron BT-3S humbucking pickups are designed to deliver impactful punch with lots of tonal clarity.
Expertly Designed Semi-Hollow – The semi-hollow arched Maple body with chambered centre-block gives a rich fullness, deep resonance and a “big-body sound”.
Comfortable Playing Experience – The soft “C” neck combined with the medium jumbo frets make playing smooth and effortless.
Coil-Splitting – The coil-splitting provides useful single coil sounds, adding another layer of tonal versatility to an already strong sonic arsenal.

All-New Broad’Tron BT-3S Pickups

The G2655 features a duo of Broad’Tron BT-3S pickups. Utilising a combination of Alnico 5 and Alnico 2 magnets, the new BT-3S pickups provide stronger mids, tight but full lows, as well as smooth, clear highs that retain a bold and musical presence.

Versatile Controls with Coil-Splitting

The Streamliner’s sonic power is harnessed and shaped by the traditional control layout – neck and bridge pickup volume controls, a master tone control, master volume control and three-way pickup switching.

The addition of a push/pull pot on the master volume control allows coil-splitting to provide useful single coil sounds, adding another layer of tonal versatility to an already strong sonic arsenal.

About the manufacturer

Gretsch

Gretsch guitars are renowned for their distinctive tone, vintage style, and craftsmanship that has defined rockabilly, country, and classic rock for decades. Founded in Brooklyn in 1883, Gretsch became iconic through artists like Chet Atkins, George Harrison, and Brian Setzer, whose twangy, resonant sound came from the brand’s signature hollow and semi-hollow body designs. With features such as Filter’Tron pickups, Bigsby tremolos, and ornate finishes, Gretsch guitars blend elegance with attitude. Whether it’s the warm chime of a White Falcon or the punch of a Duo Jet, Gretsch instruments continue to offer timeless character and individuality for players who want something truly unique.

Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

Burst

A burst finish refers to a guitar finish where the colour gradually fades from a darker outer edge to a lighter centre. This technique highlights the natural grain of the wood while giving the instrument depth and visual character, making each guitar look slightly different.

Common on both electric and acoustic guitars, burst finishes range from classic sunburst styles to modern colour variations. They are popular because they combine a traditional look with a visually striking appearance that complements the shape and craftsmanship of the guitar.
