Gretsch Guitar Streamliner G2622

Iconic Gretsch Tone in an Affordable Package

The Gretsch G2622 Streamliner Center Block Double Cutaway is a semi-hollowbody electric guitar from Gretsch’s Streamliner collection, blending classic aesthetics with modern playability. Ideal for rock, blues, and indie players across Australia, it features a laminated maple body with a spruce center block for feedback-resistant tone and Broad’Tron BT-3S humbuckers for versatile, high-output sound. Available in finishes like Dark Denim Metallic, Walnut Stain, and Aged Natural, it’s praised for its value, snappy response, and distinctive Gretsch growl at a budget-friendly price.

High-Quality Performance

The G2622 delivers a bold, articulate tone with excellent projection:

• Body: Laminated maple top, back, and sides with a spruce center block for semi-hollow warmth and reduced feedback, even at high volumes. The double-cutaway design ensures ergonomic comfort and easy upper-fret access, while the 16″ wide body provides classic Gretsch resonance.
• Tone: Snappy, open, and throaty with robust lows, pristine highs, and a boosted midrange, blending vintage twang with modern punch. The Broad’Tron BT-3S humbuckers offer high output and balanced frequency response, excelling in clean, crunchy, and high-gain settings.
• Neck: Maple with a satin finish and medium “C” profile for smooth playability. The rosewood fingerboard has a 12″ radius, 22 medium jumbo frets, and block inlays for effortless bending and speed.
• Bridge: Adjusto-Matic with a V-shaped stud tailpiece for stable intonation and Gretsch-style vibrato.
• Controls: Two volume knobs (neck/bridge), master tone, and a 3-way toggle switch for versatile tone shaping, including coil-tap options for brighter sounds.
• Tuners: Die-cast with vintage buttons for reliable tuning stability.

Users love its quality and versatility, with a Mixdown Magazine review calling it a “lethal rock and roll machine” with “warm, clear, and full” tones that roar when overdriven. Guitar World notes its “crunchier take on classic Gretsch sound” thanks to the FideliSonic 90 P90s in some variants. Some mention the Bigsby-equipped G2622T adds weight and balance shifts, but it’s worth it for vibrato enthusiasts.

Durable and Stylish Design

• Finishes: Dark Denim Metallic, Walnut Stain, Aged Natural, with aged white binding, thumbnail inlays, and chrome hardware for a vintage-modern aesthetic.
