Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The G6659TFM Players Edition Broadkaster Jr. is a semi-hollow, single-cutaway electric with a slightly smaller body, chambered spruce center block, and flame maple presentation. Gretsch designed the construction for high-volume work, with the smaller body described as improving comfort, tonal focus, and feedback resistance. Two U.S.-made Full'Tron pickups provide the pickup voice through a three-way switch, while the Bigsby B7CP String-Thru tailpiece, Adjusto-Matic bridge, and detailed volume-and-tone controls support hands-on adjustment. A hardshell case is included.

Who this is for
