Gretsch G2655TG LTD STRML CB JR TG VWT

Gretsch G2655TG LTD STRML CB JR TG VWT review

The Gretsch G2655TG LTD STRML CB JR TG VWT is a semi-hollow electric guitar with a laminated maple body and top, a set-in nato neck, and two Broad'Tron BT-3S humbuckers. Its listed price is 565. The supplied specifications identify a Vintage White finish, gold hardware, and a Bigsby B70 tremolo. They do not include customer reviews or listening tests, so this assessment focuses on the documented construction and hardware rather than claiming how the guitar sounds or feels in use.

Although the body has a semi-hollow design, the listing explicitly says this is not a hollowbody guitar. That distinction matters when comparing it with fully hollow instruments. The top is arched and made from laminated maple, matching the laminated maple body. The available information does not specify internal bracing, chamber dimensions, body thickness, or weight, so those details cannot be used to predict resonance or handling.

Neck and playing dimensions

The set-in neck is made from nato and has a soft C profile. Its laurel fingerboard carries pearloid big-block inlays and 22 medium-jumbo frets. The fingerboard radius is 12 inches, or 305 mm, while the scale length is 629 mm, also given as 24.75 inches. These measurements describe a shorter scale than a 25.5-inch guitar, but the supplied specifications alone do not establish string tension, action, or comfort. Those depend on setup, string choice, and individual preference.

The nut is bone and measures 42.86 mm, or 1.6875 inches, across. The string set is nickel-plated steel in.010 to.046 gauges. Those are the listed factory strings, not a guarantee that every instrument ships with the same setup after handling or adjustment. The guitar has sealed die-cast tuning machines; the maker does not provide a gear ratio or further tuning-machine details in the supplied data.

Pickups and controls

Two Broad'Tron BT-3S humbuckers provide the listed pickup configuration. The controls include a master volume, a master tone, and separate volume controls for the pickups. Both pickup volume controls have push-pull coil-split functions, and a three-way switch selects between pickup combinations. This gives the player a documented way to access split-coil operation, but the specifications do not describe output levels, wiring behavior in every switch position, or measured tonal differences. Those claims would require hands-on testing.

The control layout therefore offers more than a simple two-pickup selector and shared volume arrangement. The separate pickup volumes can be used to balance the two pickups, while the push-pull functions add another switching option. The exact control response, taper, and noise performance are not stated. Buyers who need those specifics should confirm them with the retailer or inspect the particular instrument.

Bridge, tremolo, and finish

A Gretsch Adjust-Matic bridge is paired with a Bigsby B70 tremolo. This combination is a notable part of the model's hardware specification, though the listing does not give details about bridge materials, saddle design, tremolo range, or tuning stability. The guitar also has a three-ply black pickguard and gold hardware, set against its Vintage White finish. No case or gig bag is included.

For a prospective buyer, the main practical question is whether this combination of semi-hollow construction, set-in neck, two humbuckers, coil-split controls, and Bigsby-style tremolo suits the intended use. The listed features are clear, but performance depends on setup and should not be inferred from the parts list alone. There is no supplied customer feedback to support claims about reliability, comfort, or sound.
