What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Adjusto-Matic bridge Flawless intonation across all strings
Gretsch Broad'Tron humbucking pickups High-output with throaty midrange punch
Laminated maple back/sides Even tone with great sustain
Spruce center block Tightens tone and adds feel through the neck

Revitalizing the best elements from the past, the G2622 Streamliner Center Block Double-Cut with V-Stoptail bursts into the modern music era with powerful sound and style. Brash and feedback-resistant, the sleek G2622 is designed for the guitarist who demands more than the mundane from an instrument -- more performance, more style and most importantly, more volume -- while retaining all you expect from a Gretsch.

The secret to the Streamliner's sound is twofold--the Broad'Tron BT-2S humbucking pickup and the spruce center block. Designed specifically for the Streamliner Collection, the high-output Broad'Tron pickup spawns improved definition with tighter bass response for robust lows, pristine highs and a throaty midrange. A lightweight spruce center block runs the length of the body, reinforcing the top while eliminating undesired feedback for volume-friendly performance on rocking stages.

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. A fast-playing 12"-radius laurel fingerboard with elegant pearloid Big Block inlays and 22 medium jumbo frets sits atop the white-bound neck with a thin "U"-shaped profile--ideal for chord work or fiery riffing. Enjoy rock-solid tuning stability courtesy of the stylish Gretsch V-Stoptail tailpiece, anchored Adjusto-Matic bridge and synthetic bone nut.

All the classic eye-catching style read more you've come to expect from Gretsch is here -- vintage-style black control knobs, enlarged F-holes for increased acoustic projection, elegant aged white binding with upgraded purfling, slick-looking nickel hardware, three-ply tortoise pickguard and arched laminated maple construction. Nearly impossible to put down once you pick it up and start playing, the G2622 has the updated sound and classic style that has earned Gretsch accolades since the dawn of rock 'n' roll.

My Phantom Metallic 2622 HT arrived this morning, along with a few other goodies. I opened the carton last, wanting save the best for last. Upon, initial inspection, looking for flaws, I found none. The fit and finish is flawless, as always, with Gretsch. Next I tuned it, then played each string up and down the entirety of the neck, not a dead spot nor string buzz. That done, it was time to plug it into the Marshall, and see what it had.I have a 2622T, (Bigsby Vibrato), same pickups etc., so I, sort of, new what to expect for sound. However, I was pleasantly surprised, to find, the HT has a bit warmer tone and sound, yet at the same time, it has more balls, if that make sense. The lows are clear, defined, articulate and strong, not muddy, whether clean or overdriven. The mids are punchy, and bring out a nuance, that's difficult to describe. The highs are crystal clear, ringing, and articulate. Again, whether clean or overdriven... The real surprise is switching to the bridge pickup, especially, in overdrive... lead work is searing, intense, and clear, no mud, whatsoever! Even a chord riff "chugging" is riveting, but then, the Broad'Tron BT's are an amazing well designed pickup. One of the aspects I love about them, is when playing clean, they're crystal clear, as you'd expect, however, you can hear right behind that clear clean sound, a growl, just waiting to be let loose.Set up on this particular guitar is pretty much spot on! The action is perfect for my taste and the way, read more in which, I play. I had expected to need to do a bit of set up, minor tweaks, as with any guitar. My 2622T, needed a couple minor tweaks, when it arrived, but this one. It was stage ready right out of the box. I am looking forward to playing this guitar on stage in the stage lighting, as the finish in the sun, glistens and sparkles, so I am looking forward to seeing it the stage lighting. The pictures of it on the website do not, by any means, do this guitar justice.If you're looking for a Gretsch, that will sound like a Gretsch, sound prettier than it looks, play like butter, and get down right mean and nasty, without breaking the bank, the 2622 HT is just that. It is more than stage worthy! You owe it to yourself to pick one up!!!

Sound
This guitar is pure Gretsch sound, with balls when needed. You can play it pretty and you can play it down and dirty. Our band's music is a fusion of Southern Rock, Classic Rock, and Celtic Rock, but a few of our songs are more on the Metal Ballad side of things. The 2622 handles it all, with grace and aplomb, begging for more. The neck pickup is great for "chugging chord riffs", arpeggiations, and lead when you want to play it pretty. With both pickups engaged, you hear a bit of brashness and growl peeking through. Then engage the bridge pickup and get ready to sear the audiences senses, mind you that is when overdriven. Clean gives you a crystal clear ringing sound in the upper range. I cannot stress enough, whether clean or overdriven/distorted, your leads are clear and articulate, not muddy or undefined, that is true with chord riffs, as well.

Features
Gretsch has been building guitars a very very long time. The concept, thought, and birthing of this line is testament to Gretsch's quality and skill. This guitar is classic Gretsch brought into the 21st century, with classic style, (simple elegance), yet it will give you, both, classic and modern sound.

Ease of Use
It could not be easier, to derive the sound you want. The tone and volume controls are responsive, where as you need to dime the knob, in order to hear/make a change in tone, with other guitars. This guitar's controls are very sensitive. As for a learning curve, if you're a first time Gretsch owner, it might take a few minutes to master the controls.

Quality
The quality is pure Gretsch, flawless!

Value
This guitar is more than worth the price. You cannot find a better guitar of the style for this money. Besides, it's Gretsch!!! That says it all.

Manufacturer Support
I've not needed to contact Gretsch with any of my Gretsch guitars.

The Wow Factor
This guitar I suspect, will turn heads, not only just in its look, but the minute you hit the strings with that first chord or opening lead riff. Wow just doesn't quite cover it. I would say its Awe Factor would be more appropriate, than just Wow.
