Gretsch G2622LH Streamliner Center Block Double-Cut Lefty Electric Guitar, Gunmetal
The Gretsch G2622LH Streamliner Center Block Double-Cut lefty is an addition to the affordable Streamliner Series that offers classic Gretsch elements combined with modern functionality to create a guitar that’s versatile enough for contemporary players while sporting the Gretsch aesthetic that lovers of the brand have come to expect over decades.Â
The body of this guitar is made fully from arched laminated maple and features a center block construction, using a cut of wood that runs the length of the interior to enhance sustain and suppress feedback, while offering a semi-hollow body style that can handle higher amounts of gain than its fully hollow counterparts. Featuring two F-holes, the body boasts a slim depth of only 1.75″ and is host to a sleek Aged White binding around its perimeter, continuing up the neck and to its headstock. AÂ set neck joint connects its body to the neck.Â
The G2622LH Streamliner’s neck screams classic Gretsch through and through, and is cut to a cozy soft “C” shape from Nato, known for its stability and resistance to warping over time. On the neck, a laurel fingerboard with a 12″ radius is divided by 22 medium jumbo frets, and features Pearloid Neo-Classic inlays that sit at the very top of the fingerboard, met with black position inlays on the side of the neck.Â
Under the hood of this player-grade guitar reside two of Gretsch’s own Broad’Tron BT-3S pickups, both covered in nickel. These pickups utilize Alnico 5 and Alnico 2 magnets, and combined with the semi-hollow style body create stronger a Gretsch signature sound that offers strong and present mids, tight, full lows, and smooth highs that cut enough but aren’t overwhelming. These pickups are easily controlled by a 3-way switch, and master and tone knobs, featuring a unique coil-splitting toggle to experience single coil pickups sounds from these BT-3S beauties.Â
The guitar’s body and neck feature a gloss finish, and the Adjusto-Matic bridge, 3-ply tortoise pickguard, Gretsch Radio knobs and V-Stoptail tailpiece all add to its charming, vintage-inspire aesthetic.Â
