Gretsch G2622-P90 Streamliner Havana Burst 2021
Gretsch G2622-P90, brown, made in Indonesia 2021. Cool, right? Gretsch's Streamliner series are their most affordable models, but despite the modest bucks involved, they're really pretty darn good. This one was a limited model from a year or two back, taking the standard model and swapping in a pair of 'FideliSonic' P-90 style pickups with staple style magnets... I assume they're named after Fidel Castro, hence the finish name... missile crisis not included. Anyway, they sound good: fat and warm, plenty of slice on the top. The neck is slim and comfy and at a whisker under 3kg, it's very light indeed. The visual details are cool too: cute little egg inlays, quirky knobs, V-stoptail... it's cute. Lots to enjoy here.
