Gretsch G6609TFM Players Edition Broadkaster Center Block Electric Guitar - Dark Cherry Flame

The Gretsch G6609TFM Players Edition Broadkaster Center Block with String-Thru Bigsby and Flame Maple embodies the legacy of Gretsch's revered "Broadkaster" name, serving as the flagship guitar in its center block lineup. Crafted for exceptional full-spectrum sound at high volume, this semi-hollowbody guitar features powerful new U.S.-made Full’Tron pickups designed in collaboration with acclaimed pickup designer Tim Shaw. The chambered spruce center block not only enhances body resonance, contributing to a more organic tone, but also ensures a comfortably lighter weight for extended playability.

Built to meet the demands of performing musicians, the G6609TFM boasts a visually striking tiger flame maple double-cutaway body with a matching headstock, finished in handsome Stain finishes. The guitar's unique tonal character comes to life through the new Full’Tron pickups, delivering a growling sonic range unlike any other. 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.

This Players Edition Broadkaster includes notable features such as a hardshell case for secure transport and protection. The guitar's semi-hollow construction, set-in neck joint, and ebony fretboard with thumbnail inlays contribute to its exceptional playability. With a treble bleed circuit, "no-load" tone control, and "Squeezebox" PIO capacitors, the electronics offer additional tonal versatility. Crafted in Japan, this guitar represents the pinnacle of Gretsch's dedication to quality craftsmanship and innovative design.
