USED – Gretsch G5655T-Center Block Electromatic Double Cutaway – Rosa Red

Used, great condition, no fretwear.

By stripping back the bells and whistles and focusing on great tone, the Gretsch G5655T-CB really does deliver a jaw-dropping sound that is typically ‘Gretsch’ in every way. Thanks to a pair of dynamic mini humbucker pickups, the G5655T-CB offers an amazing array of tones that covers everything from scorching rock gain to glistening jazzy sparkle. A potent, wide-ranging sound that never fails to impress.
The solid spruce Center-Block running through the body offers solid punch and twang that have made Electromatic models such a hit among rockabilly and Blues guitarists. As a result, feedback is easy to control with a lively “high gain-friendly” tone. Combine this with a Bigsby vibrato tailpiece for smooth and subtle bends and you’ve got a vintage workhorse guitar on your hands.

Other premium features include five-ply maple body construction with a bound arched top and back, a bound maple neck and a 12.5”-radius rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and Neo-Classic “thumbnail” inlays. The G5655T-CB also has three-way pickup switching, single-ply black pickguard with Gretsch logo, four “G-Arrow” control knobs (volume for each pickup, bridge-pickup-only tone and master volume), anchored Adjusto-Matic bridge, Grover tuners and knurled strap retainer knobs.
