There are guitars that look like they should cost twice what they do. The Gretsch G2622T Streamliner in Dark Denim is one of them. The moment you pick it up you understand what all the fuss is about. That arched maple body, those thumbnail inlays, the Bigsby sitting right there on the tailpiece. This guitar has presence before you even plug it in.

Then you plug it in and the BroadTron BT-3S humbuckers do exactly what great Gretsch pickups are supposed to do. Warm and articulate in the highs. Rich and full in the mids. Never muddy, never harsh. There is a character to this tone that you just do not get from a standard humbucker. It breathes. It responds to your pick attack. It sounds like a guitar that costs significantly more than it does. Pull up the master volume knob and the coil split opens up a whole other world of single coil clarity that makes this one guitar cover an enormous amount of sonic ground.

The Bigsby B70 vibrato is the other thing that makes this guitar genuinely special at this price. Nobody else does vibrato like a Bigsby. That subtle warble on a held chord. The gentle flutter on a country lick. The way it adds movement to a clean tone without going out of tune. The anchored Adjusto-Matic bridge works with the Bigsby to keep your intonation solid so you can actually use the vibrato without spending the next song tuning back up.

The chambered center block in the 16 inch double cutaway body gives you the visual presence and acoustic resonance of a full hollowbody with the feedback resistance you need to actually push an amp. The soft C shaped nato neck is comfortable for hours of playing. The 12 inch radius laurel fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets plays smooth and fast. Real bone nut, nickel hardware, three ply tortoise pickguard. Every detail on this guitar feels considered and intentional.

At 649 dollars this is one of the most compelling electric guitars we carry. Players in Charleston West Virginia and across the region who want that classic Gretsch hollowbody look, feel, and tone without the vintage price tag come into The Pied Piper Music Store flagship location and walk out with this guitar.
