Gretsch G5655T-QM Electromatic Center Block Jr Quilted Maple w/Bigsby, Sweet Tea
This guitar is brand new in the box but it is a 2024 model model that is going to be discontinued at the end of the year, so we are blowing it out now as a “demo” item. It is still new, it still has the full factory warranty, it is just something we don’t want to carry into 2025. The photos in this ad are actual photos of the one you will be getting. This guitar weighs in at 6 pounds, 11.2 ounces and carries the serial number CYGC24010805 .
Live and loud, Electromatic® Center Block Jr. guitars are designed for that pure and powerful Gretsch® sound at high volume.
The G5655TQM Electromatic Center Block Jr. Single-Cut with Bigsby® features a smaller-sized body with stunning quilted maple top, back, and sides and a chambered spruce center block for dynamic resonance, high gain power and lightweight comfort. A lower set maple neck offers effortless access and performance, while the 12”-radius laurel fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and Neo-Classic™ thumbnail inlays offers excellent playability.
Its dual Black Top Broad’Tron™ humbucking pickups deliver bold, dynamic, and articulate tone with enhanced sonic punch. The combination of individual pickup volume controls, master tone and master volume with treble bleed circuit allows you to flexibly harness this instrument’s sonic power.
Painstakingly crafted with essential Gretsch sound, style and playability, these all-new models deliver the fearless and electrifying authenticity that has set Gretsch apart for decades. It’s the sound of honor itself—play proud.
