The Gretsch G6609TFM Players Edition Broadkaster Center Block takes the iconic "Broadkaster" name to new heights, embodying the flagship guitars of Gretsch's center block lineup. This semi-hollow electric guitar is meticulously crafted for a full-spectrum sound experience at high volumes. Boasting powerful U.S.-made Full’Tron pickups and a chambered spruce center block, it delivers an organic tone while maintaining a comfortably lighter weight. The guitar's aesthetic allure is heightened by a stunning tiger flame maple body and a matching headstock, available in both Dark Cherry Stain and Bourbon Stain finishes, making it a visual and auditory masterpiece.

Crafted to meet the demands of professional performers, the G6609TFM Players Edition Broadkaster features two new U.S.-made Full’Tron pickups designed in collaboration with renowned pickup designer Tim Shaw. These pickups provide a growling sonic range, delivering a unique character that sets it apart. From classic Gretsch chime to a balanced brilliance with an extra-mid concentration, these pickups excel in powering through overdriven and distorted passages at full volume. The chambered spruce center block enhances body resonance, contributing to the guitar's exceptional tonal versatility.

The guitar's ergonomic design includes a Double Cutaway body shape and a Standard "U"-shaped neck, providing comfort and playability. The ebony fingerboard with aged pearloid thumbnails, Gotoh® Locking tuning machines, and an anchored Adjusto-Matic bridge contribute to the guitar's exceptional craftsmanship.
