Overview

The Gretsch G2622 Streamliner Center Block Double-Cut with V-Stoptail combines classic Gretsch styling with modern versatility and powerful humbucker tones. Designed for players who want the resonance and character of a semi-hollow guitar with the added control of a centre block, the G2622 is an excellent choice for indie, blues, alternative rock, classic rock and contemporary styles.

Its laminated maple body features a chambered centre block designed to improve stability and help control unwanted feedback at higher volumes. The double-cutaway design provides comfortable access to the upper frets, while the nato neck and laurel fingerboard offer a familiar, comfortable playing experience.

Two Broad'Tron BT-3S humbucking pickups deliver punchy lows, strong midrange and smooth, articulate highs. With individual pickup volume controls, a master tone control and a push-pull coil-splitting function, the G2622 offers plenty of tonal flexibility. Finished in striking Cadillac Green with aged-white binding, a tortoiseshell-style pickguard and nickel hardware, it delivers unmistakable Gretsch character.

Key Features

Playability and Comfort

The G2622 features a nato neck with a comfortable Soft C profile, providing a familiar grip for chords, rhythm playing and lead work. Its 12-inch fingerboard radius offers a balanced playing surface for comfortable fretting and expressive string bends, while the 22 medium jumbo frets provide room for a wide range of playing techniques.

The 24.75-inch scale length offers a slightly shorter feel than a traditional 25.5-inch electric guitar, making bends and chord work comfortable for many players. Its double-cutaway body also allows convenient access to the upper frets.

Tonewoods and Construction

The body is constructed from laminated maple, featuring an arched top and back for a traditional semi-hollow appearance. A chambered centre block runs through the body, helping control feedback while retaining some of the resonance and character associated with semi-hollow guitars.

The set-neck construction complements the instrument's traditional design, while the laurel fingerboard provides a smooth playing surface. Aged-white body and neck binding, together with pearloid Neo-Classic thumbnail inlays, add distinctive vintage-inspired detailing.

Electronics

The G2622 is equipped with two Gretsch Broad'Tron BT-3S humbucking pickups, designed to deliver a powerful, balanced sound with strong mids, tight low frequencies and clear highs.

• Neck Humbucker: Produces full-bodied tones suited to warm cleans, blues and expressive lead playing.

• Bridge Humbucker: Delivers punchy, articulate tones for rock riffs and cutting lead lines.

• Three-Way Pickup Selector: Switches between the bridge pickup, both pickups together or the neck pickup.

• Individual Pickup Volume Controls: Allow independent adjustment of the neck and bridge pickup levels.

• Master Volume with Push-Pull Coil Split: Provides overall volume control and access to brighter, single-coil-style tones.

• Master Tone Control: Adjusts the overall brightness and warmth of the guitar's sound.

Hardware and Setup

The G2622 features an anchored Adjusto-Matic bridge paired with a Gretsch V-Stoptail, providing a stable string anchor and individual saddle adjustment for accurate intonation. Die-cast sealed tuning machines offer reliable tuning adjustment, while the bone nut supports consistent string contact.

Nickel-plated hardware, Gretsch Radio control knobs and a three-ply tortoiseshell pickguard complete the guitar's classic styling. The instrument is fitted with nickel-plated steel strings in .010–.046 gauges.

Design Details

The Cadillac Green gloss finish gives the G2622 a distinctive retro appearance, complemented by aged-white binding with black-and-white purfling. Pearloid Neo-Classic thumbnail inlays, nickel pickup covers and a three-ply tortoiseshell pickguard reinforce the guitar's unmistakable Gretsch identity.

Its elegant double-cutaway silhouette combines vintage-inspired looks with a centre block construction designed for modern playing environments, from home recording to live performance.
