DISC Gretsch FSR Streamliner CB Jr, 2-Tone Midnight Sapphire

Full Description

Rock and roll tone

An iconic figure in rock and roll since its creation, the Gretsch tone is equally as impressive as it is prestigious. The formula to this sound is an intertwined mixture of its blissful, soaring Broad’Tron BT-2S pickups and its resonant spruce centre block, which has been specifically designed for this series. The high output nature of the humbuckers means that the tone has increased definition with fantastic tight bass response, pristine highs, and a chunky midrange. The spruce block itself adds a bright nature of the instrument, simultaneously reinforcing the top of the body reducing any pesky feedback for a tone as pure as water. These aspects are all easily adjusted through the instrument’s classic controls, allowing you to control the level of each pickup and the overall volume.

Peak of playability

Obviously crafted with the performer in mind this instrument delivers an experience that is optimised to provide you with all the tools you need to let yourself shine. A thin “U” Nato neck provides a comfortable grip, ensuring total control of the instrument, whilst still offering the freedom to effortlessly flurry from each extreme of the fretboard. Of course, we have to mention the fretboard. The Laurel fretboard guarantees a silky-smooth playing surface that will have your hand gliding from chord to chord or throwing out furious riffs across it, cushioning each impact. Effortlessly playable, once you have experienced this you will never look back.

Hardworking hardware

The Gretsch FSR Streamliner comes packed with an abundance of attachments that elevate the experience to that next level. Tuning stability is expertly perfected thanks to a set of Die-Cast machine heads, holding the strings in position, extending the time you can spend practicing and minimising the time spent tuning. This works in combination with a beautiful Bigsby licenced vibrato tail piece and an anchoring Adjusto-Matic bridge which allows you to add a shimmering after effect to our notes whilst keeping those strings in place and preventing them from slipping.
