This was on GC site at a relatively low price for the quoted "great" condition. Would cost more to get a B-stock Harley Benton HB35....
Hope I get lucky like I did with my D'Angelico and I don't have to use the famous GC return policy.
Pending NGD: Gretsch-lite
Paid off my credit card today so decided to get a father's day gift for myself. Insomnia is kicking my ass tonight, should have tried to go back to sleep...

I saw that one and was thinking about it. Hope it turns out to be awesome.
From what I've read, the G2622 Streamliners are a semi hollow with a center block, have G&B humbuckers called Broadtrons.mickey wrote:Not a Gretsch I am familiar with but
I've never met a Gretsch I did not like!
Hope it lives up to your expectations!
I've lacking a double cut semi hollow ever since I sold my second AS820.

I do tend to like them, so it should hopefully be right up my alley.OMB wrote:It won't sound Gretschy per se but I like the humbies in my Streamliner so if you lean towards humbuckers this is a good one. Hope it is in good shape.

It's a great guitar, I've got one with the green finish. The Chinese have no problem with build quality as long as they aren't asked to hit a sub $200 price point...

I was worried it might be a reject from Casa de TJ, since it came out of West PB Guitar Center...tobijohn wrote:It's a great guitar, I've got one with the green finish. The Chinese have no problem with build quality as long as they aren't asked to hit a sub $200 price point...

Pure coincidence, ordinarily I would assume that it was a trade-in on something else but that GC never has any new lefty stuff in stock and only occasionally anything used..

I personally think the pickups in these are quite versatile. ENJOY!

I have a 5622 & an AS-1000. They are a perfect fit in each other's cases buthonyock wrote: ↑Sun Jun 13, 2021 12:35 pmFrom what I've read, the G2622 Streamliners are a semi hollow with a center block, have G&B humbuckers called Broadtrons.mickey wrote:Not a Gretsch I am familiar with but

The Blacktop Broadtrons in the 5622 and Broadtrons BT-2S in the 2622 are different.

Has a couple new buddies that are trying to horn in on my attention.
I did get some Gretsch style chrome knobs, switch tip, and strap knobs, just to class it up a smidgen.
I've also installed a Gotoh bridge, and Kluson deluxe tuners because the stock hardware was only slightly higher than SX quality IMO.
Now the tuning feels much more solid and the bridge doesn't have a rattle on the open G as it did before.
