Het bedrijf werd in 1883 in een klein winkeltje in Brooklyn opgericht door Friedrich Gretsch, een Duitse immigrant uit Mannheim. Hij begon met het maken van banjo's, drumstellen en tamboerijnen. De stichter stierf onverwacht in 1895, nog voordat hij zijn bedrijf in bloei had kunnen zien. Zoon Fred Gretsch senior bezorgde de muziekfabriek na de Eerste Wereldoorlog een stevige instrumenten in precisie en kwaliteit. In 1942 namen diens zonen Fred jr. en William ('Bill', die echter al snel stierf in 1948) het bedrijf over. Na het pensioen van Fred Gretsch jr. werd het bedrijf verkocht aan Baldwin Manufacturing. Dit was geen zet, en het uiteindelijk er goede uiteindelijk toe dat de productie van Gretsch begin jaren 80 werd stopgezet. Aan het einde van de jaren 80 kwam het bedrijf weer terug in de familie Gretsch. In 1989 kocht Fred Gretsch III de naam terug van Baldwin en bouwde het bedrijf opnieuw op. In 2003 kwam kwam opnieuw een grote verandering, toen de productie en distributie van Gretsch gitaren werd verkocht aan Fender.

The exhilarating G2655T Streamliner™ Center Block Jr. Double-Cut with Bigsby® is designed for three simple things—high gain-friendly performance, slick, easy playability and spectacular style. A sleek music machine, the G2655T cranks out the hits with updated features while staying true to That Great Gretsch Sound!™ that’s been a vital component of rock ‘n’ roll since its inception.

The secret to the Streamliner’s sound is twofold—the Broad’Tron™ BT-2S humbucking pickup and the spruce center block. Designed specifically for the Streamliner Collection, the high-output Broad’Tron pickup spawns improved definition with tighter bass response for robust lows, pristine highs and a throaty midrange. A lightweight spruce center block runs the length of the body, reinforcing the top while eliminating undesired feedback for volume-friendly performance on modern stages. The Streamliner’s sonic power is harnessed and shaped by the traditional control layout—neck and bridge pickup volume controls, a master tone control, master volume control and three-way pickup switching. Add some shimmer and expression to your playing with the Bigsby®-licensed B50 vibrato tailpiece, while the anchored Adjusto-Matic™ bridge and synthetic bone nut grant astounding tuning stability and accurate, slip-free intonation.

A fast-playing 12”-radius laurel fingerboard with elegant pearloid Big Block inlays and 22 medium jumbo frets sits atop the white-bound neck with a thin “U”-shaped profile—ideal for chord work or fiery riffing.

All the classic eye-catching style you’ve come to expect from Gretsch is here—vintage-style black control knobs, enlarged F-holes for increased acoustic projection, elegant aged white binding with upgraded purfling, slick-looking nickel hardware, three-ply black pickguard and arched laminated maple construction. Easy to play while rocking out thanks to its smaller body, the G2655T is a phenomenal instrument for the modern musician who wants to control the stage and the audience while standing out from the pack.

Available in Fairlane Blue, Imperial Stain and Phantom Metallilc.
