  • bought one a year and half ago, it is absolutely beautiful, both in the sound and design. Unfortunately it suffers from major, and with major I mean MAJOR neck dive problems, almost unplayable from standing position

  • Can you perhaps announce the notes/tones you played in the comparison? Unfortunately, I could not see the notes/tones from him. By the way, it sounded very good and you helped me a lot

  • I have a G2655t and was interested to compare it to this guitar. Perhaps, this could be a future video.

    My ears picked up at broad tron pickups. Broad trons are used across their entry level Streamliner series, they are hotter, don't have the same glassy chime and I don't tend to like them. I have 4 Gretsch guitars and much prefer filter trons. I am not a big fan of my G2655t to be honest. I picked up a second-hand G2622 for £200 with a hard case. This was the purchase of the year and in my opinion much better than its little brother. I would also say that the broad trons fitted in this guitar are the exception to the rule and sound great in the G2622. I would love to hear Gretsch's disonic pickups in a guitar like this or its bigger brother the G5622.
    To compare this guitar to a Les Paul is a bit like apples and oranges. I am a confirmed Gretsch fan, but when I compare it to my 90s Gibson Blueshawke, the Gibson with blow my G2655t out of the water every time.

    I love Gretsch guitars, their electronic range is lovely and step up on their streamliner range in terms of fit and finish.
