Key Features:
Laminated maple top
Chambered spruce center block
Maple neck with laurel fingerboard
2 Black Top Broad'Tron humbucking pickups ; wide range of tones, from chiming highs to warm lows
Bold and Powerful: Compared to the Filter'Tron, the Broad'Tron boasts a bolder and more powerful sound. This is due to its slightly larger size, increased winding count, and ceramic magnets. This translates to a thicker, fatter tone with a more pronounced low-end and a more aggressive bite.
Clear and Defined: While powerful, the Broad'Tron retains a surprising amount of clarity and definition. The ceramic magnets, along with the slightly wider pole pieces, contribute to a balanced frequency response that lets individual notes sing through even when playing distorted chords.
Dynamic Range: One of the highlights of the Broad'Tron is its impressive dynamic range. It can handle everything from delicate fingerpicking to searing overdrive with remarkable responsiveness. This makes it a versatile choice for guitarists who demand a wide range of tonal expressions.
Warmth and Brightness: The Broad'Tron strikes a satisfying balance between warmth and brightness. While not as warm as the Filter'Tron, it retains a smooth and pleasing character in the mid-range, making it suitable for clean and bluesy tones. However, it also possesses a crisp and articulate high-end that cuts through the mix well in heavier settings.
Feedback Resistance: Compared to the feedback-prone nature of early Filter'Trons, the Broad'Tron is significantly more resistant to feedback due to its humbucking design and ceramic magnets. This makes it a more reliable choice for high-volume playing and stage situations.
The Gretsch Treble Bleed Control, also known as a high-pass filter, is a simple modification made to the guitar's volume potentiometer that allows high frequencies to "bleed" through even when the volume is turned down. This helps to maintain the high-end clarity of your tone, particularly when playing clean or with overdrive/distortion.

The G5655T-QM has a warmer, more resonant sound due to its solid spruce center block and Filter'Tron pickups. It is well-suited for genres like jazz, blues, and indie rock.
I have this exact guitar. And I've got a whole house full of guitars. I love solid bodies, Semis, and Full Hollows. Strats. Les Pauls. Teles. Wolfgangs and Frankenstrats. You name it. And I've gotta tell you.... this one is my favorite guitar that I own. Out of all of em' ..... this one is it. Plays like a dream. Sounds unbelievable. Gorgeous. And I can do anything I want to with it. I guess if it had a sweet-spot... it would be Country Rock / Classic Rock / Blues and Blues Rock. But I mean... Incredible musical instrument. Killer opening riff!
I play this lovely mofo at least 8 hours/ 7 days....I suck..but I play ...love this girl.
Great demo! Thanks
Very accurate on Tom Petty tone! 👌🏻

What a dream machine, replete with bullshit superlatives and other internet induced deleted expletives in the comments.
Are you okay?
