I bought a quilted version of that guitar just for one particular tone, and then planned on selling it after I was done. But I loved the resonant sound and feel so much, I ended up keeping it, and play it at least a few times every month now. Far exceeded my expectations.
Bought this guitar in Azure Blue, loved the way it played and did find that the Bigsby tremolo did occasionally effect tuning in its stock form. For me the Broad'tron pickups lacked the jangly warmth that you normally encounter on Gretsch's more expensive guitars, so I installed a TV Jones classic Filter'tron in the neck position and a Power'tron Plus in the bridge position. It now has that ultra clean Gretsch sound for the neck pickup and a super gritty AC/DC sound on the bridge pickup. For the tuning stability issues, I added a penny under the tremolo spring, installed a true graphite nut, waxed the bridge saddles and installed locking tuners. So far that has fixed the tuning problems. This is now one of my favorite guitars!
I've got the Streamliner Jr with the previous BT2S pickups, they are very hard to find in a 3/4 year gap, the new one's are Chineses built with BT3S and quite frankly aren't in the same quality in any area of the build and tonal soundscape, mine was Indonesian built and it goes full toe to toe with anything stupid enough to dare it on from clean, blues, to absolute nasty. It's the most stable instrument I've ever played in 35 years of pro playing and recording, the bloody thing is a living creature!
If it inspires you to pick up and play then it's the right guitar. I've played a couple of these and they're very comfortable with with an easily transferable character.
@@NovaRedBaron Don't bet on it! it's not so much where it's made, it more about the builders skills instead obviously, including the hardware on board. I've tried quite a few of these and the Indonesian built Streamline Jr with the BT2S only with the V tail is on par with any Japanese custom built. Mine eats Paul's and custom Strats for a snack.

beautiful😘
Does anybody know what aftermarkt roller bridge and locking tuners are compatible with the G5655TG?
Do you think this would be a good fit for something like QOTSA sound (sticking into crunchy amps like Peavey, Marshall or VOX)?
I found this sooooo beautiful in green but i just learn to play guitar since a week 😄 do u think its something for a total beginner?

Could have shown a few more angles of the guitar.
Could you please play the exact same demo but with a decent 6120?
Decent? What do u mean?
Nice playing.
😃😃😃
made in China
So what?!
If it's a great sounding guitar that is well made, with good quality hardware, it doesn't matter where it is made.
