Gretsch Guitars - 280-7200-508
Description
Revitalizing the best elements from the past, the G2628T Streamliner™ Center Block Double-Cut with Bigsby® in an exclusive Ocean Turquoise finish bursts into the modern music era with powerful sound and style.
Brash and feedback-resistant, the sleek G2628T 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 Streamliner's sound is driven by its spruce center block and trio of Broad'Tron™ humbucking pickups. These pickups spawn 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 double-cutaway body, reinforcing the top while eliminating undesired feedback for volume-friendly performance on rocking stages.
Unlock endless tonal options with the added middle pickup and versatile control layout. A fast-playing 12"-radius laurel fingerboard with pearloid block inlays and 22 medium jumbo frets sits atop the bound nato neck with a thin "U"-shaped profile - ideal for chord work or fiery riffing. Add some shimmer and expression to your playing with the Bigsby-licensed B70 vibrato tailpiece, while the anchored Adjusto-Matic™ bridge and synthetic bone nut grant astounding tuning stability and accurate, slip-free intonation.
All the classic eye-catching style you've come to expect from Gretsch is here - vintage-style black control knobs, enlarged F-holes, elegant aged white binding, slick-looking nickel hardware, tortoise pickguard and arched laminated maple construction. Nearly impossible to put down once you pick it up, the G2628T Streamliner has the updated sound and classic style that has earned Gretsch accolades since the dawn of rock 'n' roll.
