Gretsch Guitars - 240-1900-805

Description

Gretsch's time-honored "Broadkaster" name now adorns the flagship guitars of its center block lineup, crafted for full-spectrum sound at high volume with powerful new pickups and a chambered spruce center block that enhances body resonance for more organic tone and comfortably lighter weight.

Built to perform, the G6609TG Players Edition Broadkaster Center Block with String-Thru Bigsby and Gold Hardware features a double-cutaway body in handsome Cadillac Green and Vintage White finishes, both with gleaming gold hardware. Gretsch also enlisted acclaimed pickup designer Tim Shaw to create new U.S.- made Full'Tron pickups, a pair of which delivers full-spectrum sonic range with distinctive snarl, in addition to classic Gretsch chime, balance and brilliance with slightly more pronounced mid concentration that brings even more tonal muscle to full-volume playing with overdrive and distortion.

Premium features include:
* Lightweight chambered spruce center block
* All-new U.S.-made Full'Tron pickups
* Lower neck set for greater playing comfort
* Treble bleed circuit, "no-load" tone control, "Squeezebox" PIO capacitors
* Studded Adjusto-Matic bridge for pinpoint intonation
* Bigsby B7GP String-Thru vibrato tailpiece
* Locking tuners
