Live and loud, Electromatic® Center Block Jr. guitars are designed for that pure, powerful Gretsch® sound at high volumes. Carefully crafted with essential Gretsch sound, style and playability, these new models deliver the fearless, electrifying authenticity that has distinguished Gretsch for decades. It’s the sound of honor itself: Play with pride.
The G5655TG Electromatic® Center Block Jr. Single-Cut with Bigsby® and Gold Hardware features a smaller body size with a chambered spruce center block for dynamic resonance, high-gain power and lightweight comfort.
Offering excellent playability, the 12″-radius laurel fingerboard houses 22 medium jumbo frets and miniature NeoClassic™ inlays. Its dual Black Top Broad’Tron™ humbucking pickups deliver bold, dynamic and articulate sound with enhanced sonic impact.
This guitar boasts stage-stealing style with three gorgeous finishes—Azure Metallic, Cadillac Green and Orange Stain—and gleaming gold hardware, including a Bigsby® B70 vibrato tailpiece, anchored Adjusto-Matic™ bridge and G-arrow knobs.
