Player's Perspective

Music Store Live is proud to offer up this Gretsch Players Edition Broadkaster! A classic look and mostly vintage sound, but with a touch of modernity that will be appreciated by anybody looking to play this with some distortion on it.

The Full'Tron pickups on this faithful recreation of a vintage Broadkaster are overwound and offer a bit of a bump in the midrange presence of the guitar. This really helps out whether you're just looking to lightly overdrive your amp, or you want heavy and lush saturation. When playing clean, the Broadkaster definitely leans towards the vintage sounds of yesteryear and has a very sweet and rich natural sound, which of course, can be further manipulated with playing technique and tone controls.

The neck definitely gives you a solid piece of wood to hold onto with its U-shaped neck. It's still super fast to navigate and playing up and down the neck is a breeze. It tapers really nicely so that, whether you're playing chords down in the first or open position or ripping lead lines up high on the neck, your left hand won't get fatigued even through long nights in the studio, ripping it up on the big stage, or jamming with your buddies.

Manufacturer's Description

Gretsch’s time-honored “Broadkaster” name now adorns the flagship guitars of its center block lineup, crafted for full-spectrum sound at high volume with powerful new pickups and a chambered spruce center block that enhances body resonance for more organic tone and comfortably lighter weight.

Built to perform, the G6609TG Players Edition Broadkaster® Center Block Double-Cut with String-Thru Bigsby® and Gold Hardware features a double-cutaway body in handsome Cadillac Green and Vintage White finishes, both with gleaming gold hardware. These models feature the all-new U.S.-made Full’Tron™ pickups that deliver full-spectrum sonic range with distinctive snarl, in addition to classic Gretsch chime, balance and brilliance with slightly more pronounced mid concentration that brings even more tonal muscle to full-volume playing with overdrive and distortion.
