    A beautifully crafted instrument at a fantastic price. Gretsch have a well-deserved reputation and signature sound, and whilst this guitar is a Chinese construct, under Gretsch's badge, the build quality is faultless. A wide variety of tones are possible with the BroadTron humbucking pickups with individual volume controls AND a master volume, master tone and ruggedly built selector switch. Bags of color - perhaps not the 'full' Gretsch-Rockabilly trembling confirmation - but powerful (and warmer) non-the-less. This guitar has a genuine 'genre-defying range.' Jazz, Blues, Rock? Effortless. Visually, the G5655TG body is smaller than your regular hollow body Gretsch - hence the cost-effective price point - but still large enough to hold a full Bigsby in gleaming gold livery. At first glance I wasn't sure whether to play it - or frame it. I've also heard that this is a limited edition model. So if you're interested - grab one now - at this price.
