Gretsch Guitars G2655T Streamliner Center Block Jr. Double-Cut With Bigsby Electric Guitar Imperial Stain

I bought this and love it

I got this guitar about 4 months ago. After the first 2 weeks, i was already having problems with the bridge. The arm does not stay on, and i would have to re tune every 5 minutes. With the electronics, the bridge pickup does not work unless you force the volume knob all the way up. It cuts out as well. The quality of the wood and materials used are good, however i would expect it to function.

Guitar has a really nice feel and sound for the price. The only downfall for me is that the volume and tone knobs didn't have much for a gradual roll off. But for the price, you would expect that. After making some adjustments to the pickup height, it sounds really good.

I have chronic back pain, and been playing in a jazz combo for about 10 weeks. To reduce impact on my back i decided to sw'itch tIo a lighter guitar than the Ibanez AF105 archtop hollow body I was using (which sounds great) . This guitar is much more comfortable for me to play, is several pounds lighter, but still delivers a great sound. The action is very easy without buzzing, the neck is thin enough for me to get my entire hand around, which is awesome since I don't have big hands, making the F shape a happy place. And stays in tune..very happy! Only change I made was to have flatwound strings put on, and and that made a huge difference from how it sounded on the wall. Really warmed it up.

Looks good, set up was good. Master volume knob was off-center causing inconsistent resistance when turning knob. Pick ups are very weak. Bottom of the line Epiphone pick ups blows them away. Instead buy an Epiphone Wildkat.

Finish is as pictured-no surprises. A beautiful instrument, super fun to play, despite some online reviews, the G2655T has 90% of the Gretsch sound. Above all, I had the the guitar mailed via UPS and I was concerned about damage in shipping. No such worries. The package was packed as if it was full of eggs - and none broke. The guitar was locked in tight, padded, you name it. Super impressed. I almost kept the package and threw out the guitar - just kidding - but never-the-less, the packaging was a thing of beauty.
