Description
Introducing the Gretsch G2622T Streamliner Center Block with Bigsby, the epitome of both style and substance. This semi-hollowbody electric guitar is designed for musicians seeking that distinctive Gretsch sound but crave the ability to crank up the volume. The double-cutaway maple body, combined with a chambered spruce center block, offers not just dynamic resonance and high gain power, but also lightweight comfort for those long practice or performance sessions. At the heart of the G2622T's sound are the Dual Black Top Broad'Tron humbucking pickups, providing chiming highs and articulate tone for a punchy sonic experience. Tailor your sound effortlessly with an intuitive control layout, which includes a master volume control with treble bleed circuit, master tone, individual bridge and neck pickup volume controls, and a three-position pickup toggle switch. The G2622T is not just about sound and functionality. It also boasts high-quality hardware such as an anchored Adjusto-Matic bridge, Bigsby B70 vibrato tailpiece, Graph Tech NuBone nut, and G-arrow knobs. Finally, its aesthetics are as impressive as its performance, with various stunning finishes, aged white body binding with multi-ply purfling, and nickel hardware. The finish options also come with matching pickguards and pickup bezels for a cohesive look.

I love this guitar
I have this Gretsch streamliner and it has got to be one of the best guitars I've played, it sounds amazing and playing it is fun and easy. The fretboard is big not allowing for much shredding but this guitar is more a jazz guitar allowing you to play chords and notes easily, I highly recommend this guitar because it is so cool to play!

great guitar even though this isn't the one I have
I have the G2627T 3 Pickup Georgia Green one, but ive played this one too. I love both instruments and use the one I have as the main guitar for The Tall Gays. 100% recommend both guitars for the money and tones.

Brent Hinds of Mastodon plays a Gretsch G2622T Streamliner Center-Block in Torino Green with his side project, Fiend Without a Face, as shown in his Instagram post.
"Despite being ‘a Strat guy’, Kid Congo moved over to a Gretsch for the new album, citing problems with clashing with his bandmate’s Mosrite as the reason. “He’s very twangy and very high end-ey and I think we were just torturing people with high end… I always wanted to try a Gretsch, and I love their sound,” he says. In his search for a more complementary guitar the Gretsch seemed like the perfect fit, and whilst he’s still finding out all its particulars it is firming as a solid replacement for his beloved Strats. “It’s a much warmer sound, so it’s different.”"
