The Gretsch G5655T-CB 6-String Semi Acoustic Guitar Black is a 6-string semi-acoustic guitar with an Electromatic center-block, a solid spruce centre block, double jet, and a maple top, sides and neck. The interior solid spruce Center-Block runs the length of the guitar’s 1.75"-deep double jet body, making for a lively "high gain-friendly" tone and delivering greater control over the kind of feedback players want. The dual-coil Super HiLo’Tron humbucking neck pickup is voiced to produce a clean, high end sparkle with robust low end and low-noise performance. Together with the "Black Top" Filter’ Tron bridge pickup, it’s a potent tonal combination.
Other premium features include five-ply maple body construction with a bound arched top and back, a bound maple neck and a 12.5”-radius rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and Neo-Classic "thumbnail" inlays. The G5655T-CB also has three-way pickup switching, single-ply black pickguard with Gretsch logo, four "G-Arrow" control knobs (volume for each pickup, bridge-pickup-only tone and master volume), anchored Adjusto-Matic bridge and flat-handled Bigsby-licensed B50 vibrato, Grover tuners and knurled strap retainer knobs.
