Gretsch Guitars G2622T Streamliner Center Block With Bigsby Electric Guitar Torino Green

Pickups sound great, and build quality is very nice. The guitar is a good volume when playing without an amp.

I don't know if it is the tuners, the nut or both. The guitar goes out of tune quickly. I seldom use the bigsby though I do like the option. If that is the problem I made a mistake buying a guitar with the bigsby. Overall I am very impressed with the quality of the guitar and it sounds great. I'm going to replace the nut first. I have lubricated the nut and made no difference. The tuners feel like they are quality. I might replace them too. I can't play an entire song without having to retune. I hate to drop additional money on a guitar I didn't really need.

Product is awesome. Looks fantastic and sounds great.

I was in the middle of ordering a D'Angelico EXL-1. Suddenly, an ad popped up, and I spec'd the Gretsch G2622T/TG -vs- the D'Angelico EXL-1, I was buying. The Gretsch out performed the D'Angelico substantially. Findings: Both guitars were laminate bodies. Gretsch pioneered the best Laminate process in the early 1900's, so advantage: Gretsch. The G2622T/TG has two (2) Filter'Tron humbucking pickups, which have better tonal definition than the one PAF Seth Lover pickup on the EXL-1. The Gretsch G2622T/TG had a Bigsby Tremolo Bar, EXL-1 does not offer it. The G2622T/TG was $550 against the EXL-1 @ $1,300. Both guitars were equally elegant. Both Guitars are formal jazz big band/orchestral guitars. D'Angelico was regarded as the greatest guitar builder ever! However, Jimmy D'Aquisto was D'Angelico's sole apprentice. Therefore, after D'Angelico's death, D'Aquisto was the only remaining luthier carrying D'Angelico's luthiership and lineage of guitar building. When D'Aquisto went to the Gretsch Project he brought to Gretsch the greatest lineage of all to that company. Gretsch now held the D'Angelico guitar building tradition, and it was D'Aquisto who brought it to Gretsch when he crafted the Gretsch prototypes for the Gretsch line of guitars. So, you could say, Gretsch continues in the true original luthiership of D'Angelico, because of those prototypes!

This is one of my dream guitars. After a whole lot of work and saving, I was finally able to buy it. I was not disappointed! The semi-hollow body gives it a nice rich tone and it gives it that nice sexy look! I ordered online and picked up in store. The staff was very friendly and the guitar was in PRIME condition. Next on my list is a 335. I plan on getting it the same way.

I bought this to add another "flavor" to the guitar collection for recording. All of my previous guitars were all solid body electrics and I wanted that Gretsch semi-hollow body tone. Boy did I make a GREAT decision! The guitar is beautiful, built well and sounds GREAT!
