HIGHLIGHTS Maple Body with New Center Block Design
The G2655 Center Block Jr. features a smaller arched maple body with an all-new center block design under the hood. This new center block is designed to balance lightweight comfort with a full, rich sound and increased presence; resulting in improved attack and sustain, and excellent feedback rejection, in a comfortable package that won’t weigh you down.
All-New Broad’Tron BT-3S Pickups
The G2655 features our new Broad’Tron BT-3S pickup set. Utilizing a combination of Alnico 5 and Alnico 2 magnets, the new BT-3S pickups provide stronger mids, tight but full lows, and smooth clear highs that retain a smooth and musical presence.
Versatile Controls with Coil-Splitting
The Streamliner’s sonic power is harnessed and shaped by the traditional control layout – neck and bridge pickup volume controls, a master tone control, master volume control and three-way pickup switching.
The addition of a push/pull pot on the master volume control allows coil-splitting to provide useful single coil sounds, adding another layer of tonal versatility to an already strong sonic arsenal.
