DISC Gretsch G6659TG Players Edition Broadkaster Jr, Cadillac Green

Full Description

Chambered Body With Center Block

The G6659TG Player's Edition Broadkaster Jr features a smaller 14" laminated 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 single-cutaway design allows players to easily reach the higher frets for full access across the whole ebony fingerboard.

New Full’Tron Pickups

Like many guitars in the new 2017 lineup, the G6659TG Player's Edition Broadkaster Jr 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 G6659TG Player's Edition Broadkaster Jr features an Adjusto-Matic bridge, delivering a great tone and precise intonation with its six individually adjustable string saddles. Combined with the Bigsby vibrato tailpiece, the bridge slightly "rocks" with the movement of the strings- reducing friction and adding tuning stability.
