Gretsch Electromatic Chris Rocha Broadkaster Jr. Center Block - Vintage White
Chris Rocha is a highly influential guitarist and producer in the worship music scene. A twice Dove Award winner and contributor on two Grammy Award winning records, Chris is a beacon of musical light in his genre. An avid Gretsch advocate, we are honoured to partner with him on this Limited Edition Electromatic Broadkaster Jr. guitar.
Maple Body with Spruce Center Block
The Chris Rocha Broadkaster Jr. features a smaller arched maple body with a chambered spruce center block under the hood. Offering lightweight comfort and excellent feedback rejection, the spruce center block provides an open and airy sound while still retaining clarity, snap, and attack.
High Sensitive Filter'Tron Pickups
Favoured by Chris on some of his high-end Gretsch guitars, the dual High Sensitive Filter'Tron pickups provide authentic Gretsch power and articulation that can be fine-tuned with a comprehensive control layout featuring a master volume with treble bleed circuit, master tone, individual pickup volume controls and three-way pickup selector switch.
Thin "U" Neck with Rosewood Fingerboard
The Thin "U" shaped maple neck provides exceptional feel and playability, and is topped with a 12" radius rosewood fingerboard that provides warm, rich tone and a smooth, comfortable feel.
