A sleek maple neck and a silky-smooth ebony fretboard... your music is bound to be beautiful when you have this much playability on a guitar. Constructed in a standard "U" shape, the neck of the Gretsch G6659T-BTFT is thin enough to accommodate a comfortable grip whilst being strong enough to handle any ferocious playing. And the sonic qualities of maple have no limits, a desirable attribute when working with such responsive pickups. Ideal for gigging with, maple is a dense hardwood, offering quick note decay which is vital for the type of clarity needed when amped up on stage. Producing a focused, bright tone with minimal feedback, your music will never sound muddy. In fact, maple's definition is so delicious that it manages to separate notes of even the most complex of chords.
Why stop there? Gretsch have gone one step further and added to maple's brilliant qualities by mounting the neck with a luscious ebony fretboard. Smooth, fast, and visually striking, ebony has a high oil content which results in a naturally soft finish that lends itself to effortless fretting. It is also wonderfully durabl -, an enticing feature for avid guitarists. With its bright tone and snappy attack, ebony teams perfectly with maple and gives you even more opportunity to fill the room entirely with an iconic rock tone.
Crafted from laminated maple, the body of this guitar is exquisite in both looks and sound. Reach the higher frets stress-free thanks to the cutaway design and carry with ease for hours on end thanks to a superb, lightweight construction.
