Presentation
The Gretsch G6659TFM Players Broadkaster is designed to offer optimal comfort without compromising on sound. Its compact single-cut body, made of maple and its chambered spruce center block reduce the risk of feedback while maximizing sustain and lightness.
In terms of sound, this guitar shines thanks to its Full'Tron pickups, made in the United States. These humbuckers deliver a versatile sound spectrum, ranging from the typical Gretsch crystalline brilliance to a dynamic and precise growl. All this is enriched with a touch of aggression in the midrange, perfect for saturated passages or incisive solos. This configuration guarantees impeccable sound projection, even at high volume.
The technical specifications will appeal to demanding musicians. Its standard "U"-shaped maple neck ensures a pleasant grip, while the ebony fingerboard, with its Pearloid Neo-Classic inlays, brings fluidity and elegance. The Anchored Adjusto-Matic bridge, combined with the Bigsby B7CP vibrato, ensures exceptional tuning stability while allowing for subtle and controlled effects. With a 305 mm radius and Medium Jumbo frets, it offers ideal comfort for rhythm and lead.
The aesthetics are not left out, with a glossy Bourbon Stain finish and Aged White binding that highlight the elegant silhouette of the instrument. Its matching headstock adds a harmonious touch to an already refined design, designed to seduce on stage.
