The Professional Collection combines Gretsch sound with modern performance features that deliver an enhanced playing experience. Featuring flagship pickups and electronics, these guitars are designed for powerful sound, total versatility, and exceptional control.
Professional Collection Broadkaster Jr. LX Center Block guitars provide modern Gretsch tone with exceptional performance. Featuring the powerful Pro Twin Six humbucking pickups and a redesigned Channel Core centre block, the Broadkaster Jr. LX guitars are designed for full-spectrum sound at high volume, providing the flexibility and control you need to explore new sonic territories.
Redesigned Channel Core Center Block
Combining a maple top layer and spruce bottom layer with a more focused chambering design, the redesigned Channel Core centre block provides faster note attack and enhanced midrange punch that takes the Broadkaster LX guitars to a whole new level.
Pro Twin Six Pickups
The Pro Twin Six pickups are some of Gretsch's most modern and powerful pickups to date. The Neck pickup features an Alnico 4 magnet with a DCR rating around 5.5k and provides a tone that is warm, clear, and throaty without being muddy or overly compressed. The Bridge pickup features an Alnico 5 magnet with a DCR rating around 12k and provides a tone that is bright and clear, with enhanced midrange punch, tight focused lows, and sparkling highs that never get spiky or shrill.
Together these pickups provide exceptional power, fidelity, and versatility that allows you to explore new sonic territories.
Maple Neck with Rolled Fingerboard
A 12"-radius ebony fingerboard with rolled edges and 22 medium jumbo frets tops a 25.5"-scale maple neck with a comfortably familiar standard "U"-shaped profile for smooth playability, while the glow in the dark Luminlay side dots offer precision fretting in low-light settings.
