The G2655T can produce crunchy riffs, great-sounding power chords, and a beautiful bluesy solo tone through an overdrive pedal and plays clean it has a delicate roundness with a slight raspy bark. Lowering the pickups for more distance between strings and coils will make this model sound a little sweeter and more characteristically like Gretsch. There is more of a throaty midrange bark than a retro twang and the bridge pickup of the G2655T, in particular, is powerful.
