Gretsch G6659TFM Players Edition Broadkaster Jr. Center Block Single-Cut Guitar - Dark Cherry Flame

The Gretsch G6659TFM Players Edition Broadkaster Jr. Center Block Single Cutaway Electric Guitar is a masterful embodiment of Gretsch's revered "Broadkaster" legacy. Crafted as the flagship guitar in the center block lineup, this instrument is designed for an expansive sound at high volume, featuring potent new pickups and a chambered spruce center block. This unique construction enhances body resonance, providing an organic tone while maintaining a comfortably lighter weight. In a quest for big sound within a smaller package, the G6659TFM boasts a slightly smaller single-cutaway body, ensuring greater comfort, tonal focus, and feedback resistance. The tiger flame maple body, finished in Dark Cherry Stain gloss, is complemented by a matching headstock for a captivating aesthetic.

A standout feature of the G6659TFM is its powerful U.S.-made Full’Tron pickups, developed in collaboration with acclaimed pickup designer Tim Shaw. These pickups deliver a full-spectrum sonic range, characterized by a distinctive growl that sets them apart. The instrument retains the classic Gretsch chime, balance, and brilliance, augmented by a touch of extra mid concentration. This added midrange presence makes the guitar excel in powering through overdriven and distorted passages at full volume, providing a versatile platform for expressive playing.

Finished in a captivating Dark Cherry Stain gloss, the G6659TFM is adorned with nickel hardware, offering a touch of vintage elegance. The ebony fingerboard, featuring aged pearloid Neo-Classic thumbnail inlays, provides a smooth and comfortable playing surface. The Standard "U"-shaped neck profile crafted from maple ensures ease of playability. The inclusion of a String-Thru Bigsby adds expressive possibilities to your performance. This Broadkaster Jr. model comes complete with Gotoh Locking tuning machines for reliable tuning stability and includes a G6251JR/XL Deluxe Hardshell Case for secure storage and transportation.
