Gretsch Player's Edition G6659T Broadkaster Jr.Center Block Creme de Marine w/Broad'Tron Pickups & Bigsby

Brand New

Description & Specs

Gretsch’s time-honored “Broadkaster” name now adorns the flagship guitars of its center block lineup, crafted for fullspectrum 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. 

For big sound in a small package, the G6659T Players Edition Broadkaster® Jr. Center Block with Bigsby® features a slightly smaller single-cutaway body for greater comfort, tonal focus and feedback resistance. Two Broad’Tron™ pickups deliver full-spectrum sonic range with a growl unlike any other pickup, in addition to classic Gretsch® chime, balance and brilliance with a dash of extra-mid concentration for powering through overdriven and distorted passages at full volume.


  • Slightly smaller 14” single-cutaway maple body with chambered spruce center block
  • Lower set maple neck for greater playing comfort
  • 12”-radius ebony fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and aged pearloid Neo-Classic™ thumbnail inlays
  • Dual Broad-Tron™ humbucking pickups
  • Master volume with treble bleed circuit and no-load tonecontrol with Squeezebox™ paper-in-oil capacitors
  • String-thru Bigsby® B7CP vibrato tailpiece
  • Anchored Adjusto-Matic™ bridge
  • Graph Tech® TUSQ® XL nut and Gotoh® locking tuners
  • Nickel hardware
  • Includes hardshell case

We're right off the CTA Brown Line 'Paulina' Stop Just North of Belmont and just West of Ashland.

We’re all musicians here at Chicago Music Exchange and we want you to love the gear you get from us. We understand that sometimes you get a piece of gear that doesn’t work out for you. That’s why we offer an easy return policy to take the stress out of purchasing from us.

If you decide you'd like to return an item, please contact your Sales Rep, chat us, or give us a call.

If you placed your order on Amazon or eBay, we advise issuing the return request from your account on the platform of purchase - our Customer Service team will process a refund upon receipt of the item(s).

Most new items may be returned within 30 days of delivery and most vintage & used items may be returned within 3 days of delivery for a full refund, exchange, or store credit. Please pack the product safely for the journey back to us. If the product was shipped for free, the charge will be deducted from refund, unless the reason for the return is outside normal circumstances.

Please contact us as soon as possible if your order was received incorrectly, damaged, or defective. Most times we will give you an RA number (Return Authorization). Why is that number important? This will allow us to speed up the process of the return.

We reserve the right to charge a restocking fee based on the return condition. Some items we just can’t take back for returns, due to a one time function like strings or drums heads and other times it’s not sanitary to do so with microphones or harmonicas. If you aren’t sure if what you bought falls into a category like this, call us (773) 525-7773!

We strive to get your return processed quickly. Most of the time we have it done within two business days. Funds going back to credit cards usually takes two to four business days. CME strives to make sure all customers are happy with their experience. It is our priority to provide great service along with great gear. We always want to be helpful, and open to your feedback. Please let us know your thoughts! If you have any questions, we’re here for you!

Feel free to email us at customerservice@chicagomusicexchange.com or give us a call at (773) 525-7773.
