  • Semi-hollow maple body with centre block for feedback resistance

Compact Semi-Hollow Design

The Gretsch G2655 Streamliner Center Block Jr. is a new 6-string semi-hollowbody electric guitar with a laminated maple body and a centre-block construction that reduces feedback while preserving resonance. It carries a Claret Burst finish, a nato neck and a laurel fingerboard, and is equipped with two Broad'Tron BT-3S humbucking pickups.

Players Seeking Lightweight Resonance

This model suits guitarists who want the airy character of a semi-hollow instrument without the bulk of a full-size body, and who value humbucker output for cleaner high-gain performance. It is less suited to players who prefer the tighter focus of a solidbody or the acoustic-like projection of a fully hollow archtop.

Build Integration

The centre-block layout keeps the guitar light enough for long sets while still accepting standard bridge and tailpiece hardware such as the included V-Stoptail. Dual humbuckers free up pedalboard space by delivering thick overdrive tones directly, reducing the need for extra gain stages in the signal chain.

Questions about this item

Do I need a separate amplifier and cable to hear the Broad'Tron BT-3S pickups?

Yes, the Gretsch G2655 Streamliner Center Block Jr. is an electric guitar with two humbucking pickups, so it requires a guitar amplifier and a standard 1/4-inch instrument cable to produce sound.

Will the 2655 model's semi-hollowbody design feed back if I play loudly next to a vintage tube amp?

The center block design inside the laminated maple body is engineered to reject feedback effectively, allowing high-volume playing alongside older tube amplifiers without the howling typical of fully hollow instruments.

How can I confirm the Alnico 5 and Alnico 2 magnet blend is delivering the intended powerful mids after setup?

Plug into a clean amp channel, select the middle pickup position, and play chords; you should hear a balanced, punchy midrange that cuts through the mix without harshness, confirming the Broad'Tron BT-3S pickups are functioning correctly.
