Gretsch G6609TFM Players Edition Broadkaster Center Block, Cherry

Full Description

Laminated Tiger Flame Maple Body

This stunning Broadkaster guitar features a laminated Tiger flame maple body, with a chambered construction and spruce centre block. This chambered body provides a lightweight guitar that is perfect for gigging musicians who play quite frequently. A pair of classic 'F' sound holes are also featured, which allow the natural sound to be projected acoustically and provide a classic look that many guitarists associate with the 1950s era. Finally, a double-cutaway design allows players to easily reach the higher frets for full access across the whole fingerboard.

New Full’Tron Pickups

The Gretsch G6609TFM Player's Edition Broadkaster is equipped with a pair of new U.S made Full’Tron pickups, that deliver a full-spectrum of sonic range with a growl, along with that classic Gretsch chime, balance and brilliance. Players can easily shape their sound using the independent volume and tone controls, as well as a three-position toggle switch for selecting different pickup selections.

Adjusto-Matic Bridge

The Gretsch G6609TFM Player's Edition Broadkaster is equipped with an Adjusto-Matic bridge, delivering a great tone and precise intonation with its six individually adjustable string saddles. When used with a Bigsby vibrato tailpiece, the bridge slightly "rocks" with the movement of the strings- reducing friction and adding tuning stability.

Classic Bigsby Tailpiece

Featured on many Gretsch guitars, the Bigsby vibrato tailpiece allows guitarists to add excellent tremolo and pitch-bending effects to single notes or full chords while keeping the guitar perfectly in tune during a performance.
