I have owned one of these with a bigsby for 3 years now. I absolutely love it. It is comfortable to play stays in tune. I have never set it up. It played great out of the box. It keeps me inspired. If you are looking for a semi-hollow you must consider it.
I would never say its the best guitar ever... but this is my favorite guitar ever. Has just the tones I love, dimensions are amazing and it looks so bloody beautiful that even my girlfriend hates it when I DON'T hang it in the livingroom.😮
Just bought one of these today. I went in with the intention of trying and buying similar guitars, mostly Gretsches, at price points that were at a minimum twice the cost of this one. After trying several models for most of the afternoon, I kept coming back to this one. I reached the point where I realized I was ignoring the others. So impressed with this guitar. Super light and comfortable, sounds great, and looks really cool. Fantastic!
Had a 2622T for a couple of years. Put a roller bridge and locking tuners and it keeps in tune. Sounds great, plays great, feels great and looks great! Hard to beat a Gretsch in ANY price range. Nothing else like them!
the roller bridge is the one mod I often think about for my gretsch's. Might have to try one out - I think it'd make my 5422TG (w/ bigsby) even more smooth. Thanks for dropping in!
Very nice demo 👍👍 it sounds really great in your setup. I like that smaller body size of this G2655, because I usually play at home having the guitar on my lap 😉 So I am looking forward to a boygenius Streamliner arriving in September, which has some special features on top. 🤩
@@AmbientEndeavorsunfortunately Gretsch make only 1000 of them and they were sold out within two weeks. So many people were not able to order one. There is a nice video with Julien Baker talking about the boygenius Gretsch. She's so great. 🖤
I like that you are playing guitars on your channel that most people can afford. This one is about the size of a Epiphone 339 which I owned briefly. I didn’t like the Epiphone due to too many quality issues. Thanks for showing us this cool Gretsch!
Love it! Yeah , I think there's a place for $500 guitars and $5000 guitars even in the same collection. I had admittedly low expectations for this when Gretsch sent it out but it's sort of a testament to where the lower priced guitars have come; the feel and playability and finish all exceeded my expectations. I personally might consider a pickup swap if this was going to remain my main player, just for more humbucker clarity, but there are so many tonal options with the coil-split that it becomes nit-picky. Thanks for watching, appreciate it!
I’ve owned one of these. I wasn’t crazy about the pickups, the pots were really poor, the tuning stability wasn’t great, and it had some neck dive. On the other hand, I’ve never had a more comfortable and inviting guitar to play - so light and such amazing buttery smooth low action. And I love the look of it, has some individuality in a sea of safe sameness. I’m not into doing much work or mods on a guitar, so for me, it wasn’t good enough to be a keeper, but I do miss the feel of it. I guess I need to go up a level to the Electromatic series, for hardware that isn’t so compromised.
I hear those critiques - the pots definitely don't feel luxurious ha. And if the pickups were just standard 3-way humbucker config I'd be bummed, but the coil splitting really opens up a lot of different sounds that I'm pretty pleased with for the price point. I am definitely curious about doing some mods on one of these Streamliner tier guitars and seeing how pickups / roller bridge / etc might bring it to life.
Very good sounding guitar. I wonder what the difference is between the BT-2S pups that used to come in this model and the new BT-3S pups that are in this one?
Thanks! :) I haven’t checked out the D’Angelico. In my mind those were only high-end jazz stuff but I’m seeing some of the lower end models now. I’ll have to investigate.
I liked the G2655T models I played like yours but didn't like the sound of the ones with metallic P90s. I have a G5655T that picked up last year used and it has made me fall in love with Gretsch Guitars. I definitely prefer my single cut to the double cutaway because the bodies on these seem almost too small for me. I want to grab a G5210t-P90 model as I keep liking those models. My dream Gretsch right now would probably be a Penguin, but these Streamliners and Electromatic Gretschs are totally underrated.
you know , they're pretty decent, especially for a $400 guitar. To upgrade, you'd probably be spending as much as the guitar is worth, so for me they're good enough to keep em in - I really enjoy the split coil sounds in this guitar. The full HB sounds are fine to good, sometimes feeling too muddy for me but I've heard worse for sure.

Glad to hear you’re digging yours! Mine has had pretty solid tuning as well which is always impressive for a lower end guitar. Thanks for watching!

haha seems like it checks all the right boxes!! It really is a fun guitar, great value, beautiful looker!

It’s a fantastic value imo, glad you’re enjoying yours!
Best demo for this guitar I’ve been wanting to get. New subscriber here! Thank you very much!
thanks so much! really glad to hear it was helpful :)

Thanks for the great demo. Next week I’m purchasing the G2655 in Claret Burst!
dig it! They're great guitars!
Bought one today. After I bought a 5320t I fell in love with these guitars. So much for the price point.
Love it! There is definitely a lot of value in these guitars.
I love this one! Hope to try one day
You should! It’s worth checking out
Gretsch just makes a gorgeous guitar. I can window shop their website all day.
Agreed! Lots of beautiful goodies to choose from :)
Sounds very nice particularly those cleans.
Yeah there are some nice chimey qualities to the cleans that I love as well.
I have a g2622, part of me wished that I went with the smaller g2655. Great video, descriptive, and good sound samples.
Thanks for watching! The small body is nice when sitting, does feel a bit small when on a guitar strap. Pros and cons I suppose!
Colorful vibes!
indeed!
Very nice demo 👍👍 it sounds really great in your setup.

Love it! Yeah, the smaller body makes it a really comfortable player. Gotta check out the boygenius version!

agreed. It’s a fun vibe.
Beautiful guitar !!! Beautiful sounds!!!! Awesome
Thanks a lot for stopping by!

@@AmbientEndeavors What would be on your list of pickups to try as replacements?

Did you had a change to check D'Angelico guitars? Also nice semi-hollow option. Nice playing, btw!

@@AmbientEndeavorsYeah, now there is a bunch of Korean & Indonesian made, which are pretty affordable and pretty good. For my taste at least :).
Great review
Thanks for watching! Glad it was helpful
Excellent review!!
hey thanks so much for checking it out!

agreed! I love the 5422TG I demoed a while back, and these have been rather impressive too.
How do you feel about the pickups playing them in person, swap or no need to swap?
you know , they're pretty decent, especially for a $400 guitar.

What a fantastic video have a good weekend also what is your favorite year from the 2010s ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Hey thanks! Probably 2014 (married) or 2016 - a fun year of touring and lots of music. You?
@@AmbientEndeavors to be honest 2010 is a favorite year
Gretsch is not for elevator music.
Mm, thank you for this.
Am i the only one that think it looks like a jellyfish?
Yes probably
You ever done the Rorschach test? Might be interesting 😂
Can't not see it now.
