Gretsch G5655T-QM Electromatic CB Jr w/ Bigsby, Hudson Sky Overview
The Gretsch G5655T Electromatic CB Jr w/ Bigsby is a guitar which brings all of the resonant, acoustic warmth that has made the hollowbody guitar a fixture in popular music for decades. But it also boasts modern day clarity - a centreblock running through the G5655T's body eliminates feedback, ensuring your signal is always crystal-clear. The Junior size also makes it perfect for smaller players, or anyone who prefers to play an easier-to-hold guitar with plenty of punch.
Sound quality is nothing without power, though. So it's a good job Gretsch have loaded the G5655T with a pair of electrifying Broad'Tron pickups. Performing supremely well at high volumes, they cover a huge range of tones - you'll never be limited in what you can play. There's even a classic Bigsby tremolo to give your lead lines a unique edge.

View Full DescriptionPerfectly pure sound
You don't get clearer hollowbody sound than this. The G5655T has been fitted with a centreblock running through its body. Designed to get rid of unwanted feedback, it ensures you get the full, natural sound of a classic hollowbody guitar - without the noisy interference. So you can be certain that whatever you play, it'll be heard exactly how you intend it to be.
Roaring electric tone
The Gretsch G5655T comes loaded with a pair of Broad'Tron pickups. Not only do they produce a superb high output sound, but they've got an incredible tonal range too. Performing equally well for both booming lows and super-sharp highs - no style is off limits.
History-making tremolo
It's not often that you can attribute the word 'legendary' to something as small as a guitar's bridge. But in the case of the Gretsch G5655T's Bigsby-Licensed B70 tremolo, it's completely fitting. The Bigsby has been around for decades, and its distinctive, warbling vibrato has been heard on the music of everyone from Led Zeppelin to The Beatles, The Rolling Stones to The White Stripes, David Bowie and beyond. So you know the sound you'll get from this guitar's tremolo is good enough for the best.
