For classic Gretsch tone and style, you can't beat the Nashville ? now enhanced with a chambered spruce center block. The Gretsch G6620TFM Players Edition Nashville Center Block semi-hollowbody guitar sports a comfortable, lightweight 16" double-cut tiger flame maple body and a lower neck set for the ultimate in playing comfort. This elegant axe comes with luxurious touches like gold hardware, a classic Gretsch horseshoe headstock inlay, and a silky-smooth ebony fingerboard that will let your fingers fly. A duo of High-Sensitive Filter'Tron pickups serve up legendary Gretsch bark and bite, making the Gretsch G6620TFM Players Edition Nashville Center Block your go-to axe for studio and stage.





Chambered spruce center block enhances your sound





You get a lot of tonal bang for your buck with the Gretsch G6620TFM, thanks to its long spruce center block. Running the full length of the body, this chambered center block allows the otherwise hollow body to resist resonant-frequency feedback. That means you can rock out louder with more gain, without your amplifier squealing out of control. Spruce is a snappy tonewood too, and since the center block connects with the bridge, the note definition, clarity, and sustain on the G6620TFM are amazing.





No-load pots won't color your sound





Guitarists who avoid a buffered-bypass pedal or cables over 15 feet long will love Gretsch's new no-load tone pots. The pots' design allows them to be completely bypassed from your G6620TFM's circuit when run wide open. You'll notice a stronger signal with more high-end clarity. And these tone pots use Gretsch's Squeezebox paper-in-oil capacitors for a wider tonal landscape between settings 0 and 10 that's easy to fine-tune with a roll of the knob.





Lower-set neck for a more comfortable feel





We've played a lot of guitars here at Sweetwater, and we know that not all players are comfortable with the "traditional" Gretsch feel. Gretsch knows this too, which is why they've set the neck lower on the G6620TFM for greater playing comfort. If some Gretsch semi-hollowbody guitars feel cumbersome to you, get your hands on the G6620TFM ? it was made just for you.
