Live and loud, the Gretsch G5655T-QM Electromatic Center Block Jr. Quilt Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar in Speyside embodies the pure and powerful Gretsch sound at high volume. Designed with a slightly smaller single-cutaway body, this guitar delivers incredible resonance and dynamic tone thanks to its chambered spruce center block and stunning quilted maple top, back, and sides. The result is a lightweight yet powerful instrument that thrives in both live and studio settings.
The lower-set maple neck provides smooth access across the fingerboard, while the 12″-radius laurel fretboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and Neo-Classic thumbnail inlays offers a classic Gretsch feel. Dual Black Top Broad’Tron humbucking pickups serve up bold, articulate tones with enhanced punch, perfectly controlled through independent volume knobs, a master tone, and a master volume with treble bleed circuit. Add the expressive Bigsby B70 vibrato tailpiece, and you have an instrument that sings with character and vintage-inspired charm.
