Gretsch G2655 Streamliner Jr. - A "New To Me" Guitar Day Adventure

I’ve never owned a Gretsch. I’ve never owned a semi-hollow body. But as fate would have it, a Marketplace trade changed everything. I swapped a guitar that "just wasn't me" for this Gretsch G2655 Streamliner Center Block Jr. in a stunning Vintage Amber finish. In this video, I unbox this beauty, walk through the specs, and give it a real-world play test. While it's one of the most gorgeous guitars I’ve had in the shop, the "honeymoon phase" met some serious reality checks regarding tuning stability and electronics. Join me for the first impressions and the roadmap for the TLC this guitar needs to meet my player preferences. Timestamps 0:00 - Guitars, Life, and a Marketplace Trade 1:04 - What's in the Case?
