The more compact body of the semi-hollow single-cut G5655TG Electromatic Center Block Jr. Single-Cut is constructed from a plywood and chambered spruce center block that reinforces the guitar's soundboard. Glued to the maple neck with a Thin "U" profile is a fig fingerboard fitted with twenty-two Medium Jumbo frets. Orientation on its surface is facilitated by offset position markers made of imitation mother-of-pearl (Neo-Classical Thumbnail).
Two Black Top Broad'Tron humbuckers give the guitar a full dynamic sound with good tone articulation and a slightly higher output signal than the Filter'Tron pickups offer, i.e. they are sonically a little closer to traditional humbuckers. Two volume potentiometers (for each pickup separately), a tone shutter, a Master Volume control and a three-position pickup switch are used to adjust the sound.
Precise tuning is guaranteed by the Graphtech NuBone zero-fret string attachment in the company's die-cast tuning machines and Adjusto-Matic headstock. A licensed Bigsby B70 tremolo adds subtle sound effects to your playing. The classic eye-pleasing design of Gretsch guitars is accentuated by a number of stylish features - from the arched body construction, elegant binding with a subtle hint of patina (Aged White) and black and white pickguard, gold hardware to the Gold Plexi pickguard adorned with the black Gretsch corporate logo.
