The Broadkaster® LX Figured Center Block represents Gretsch's commitment to pushing the boundaries of semi‐hollow guitar design, combining vintage aesthetics with cutting‐edge performance capabilities. This Professional Collection instrument features a refined flame maple body with deeper cutaways that provide superior access to the upper frets, while the redesigned Channel Core™ center block‐crafted from a combination of maple and spruce‐offers faster attack and enhanced midrange punch for players who demand clarity at high volumes.
At the heart of this guitar's sonic versatility are the Pro Twin Six™ humbucking pickups, paired with a comprehensive control layout that includes individual volume controls for each pickup, a master volume with treble bleed circuit, and a master no‐load tone control featuring a "Squeezebox" capacitor. The standard "U"‐shaped maple neck with 24.6" scale length and 12"‐radius ebony fingerboard provides comfortable playability, while the string‐thru Bigsby® B7GP vibrato tailpiece and Adjusto‐Matic™ bridge ensure tuning stability and sustain. Premium appointments include Gotoh® locking tuners, Grover® strap locks, gold hardware, and an Australian blackwood headcap.
Available in Havana Burst and Bourbon Stain finishes, each Broadkaster® LX Figured Center Block comes with a G6267 Gretsch® deluxe hardshell case. The 22 medium jumbo frets feature pearloid Neo‐Classic™ thumbnail inlays and Luminlay® side dots for enhanced visibility on dark stages.
