Gretsch G2622 P90 Streamliner Centre Block Model

[@kmichaelp4508]

Finally. Someone that knows how to do a review. I always want to hear how the guitar sounds and not the effects or amp. All that comes after.

[@DanLeggatt]

Cheers

[@rexhargrove5172]

I’m so excited to see manufacturers acknowledging the players wishes for more and more p90 options. (Especially my absolute favorite manufacturer … Gretsch ) they’ve truly nailed it with this model. Excellent demo and excellent design

[@robertsuckfiel5716]

Wasn't even interested in this guitar until I picked it up and played it, its so versatile and now my favorite one of my bunch. And price was outstanding also.

[@beaglegod1]

Have a question for you. Are the knobs, tailpiece cheap plastic feeling. I can't quite tell on the video. But those pickups sound 🤯!

[@robertsuckfiel5716]

@@beaglegod1 yes they are plastic. But can be upgraded

[@robertsuckfiel5716]

I dont know how to send pics lol

[@Anjohl]

Gretsch's just seem to me to punch way above their weight in general. I am not sure if it's that there isn't as much "brand equity" in a lot of their models as compared to, an import Les Paul or Stratocaster (which I think are great value notwithstanding!), but a $500 Gretsch feels as good to me as a $1,000 guitar from most other manufacturers a lot of the time.

[@johndavid9973]

I’m gagging to get one too!

[@leons6164]

The best el guitar sound I heard. Unbelieve. Working at all styles rock, soul, blues etc.

[@steveblunt3047]

I want one! Best demo I’ve looked at as gives a good idea of the range of this guitar.

[@johndavid9973]

Picking one up tomorrow!!!!

[@RCGC01]

Man....great tone and sound....glad Gretch stepped out of their box

[@DanLeggatt]

Cheers! It's definitely got a different vibe but a very cool sounding guitar. I have a P90 shaped hole in my life at the moment and this is a real contender to fill it.

[@riphopfer5816]

@@DanLeggatt You put that well. I was actually looking at Filter’Tron-equipped guitars when I found a brilliant deal on a guitar-some desperate sod was selling his Gretsch Duo Jet for half what it’s worth, and I fell in love with it. Now, I knew the next sound I needed in my arsenal was a guitar with dual P90s, and like a caricaturish scene in which the sky opens and it descends from the heavens, this guitar was released by Gretsch. Everything I love: beautiful interpretations of the P90 design, proper centre-block semi-hollow, familiar layout, and the exceptional quality I’ve come to expect from Gretsch… I knew my P90 instrument would be a Gretsch as well. Great review; excellent sound reinforcement. Out of curiosity-what amp were you first playing?

[@Anjohl]

@@DanLeggatt I think you found the hole-filler!

[@RCGC01]

Finally....got my G2622 P90 Claret Burst......AWESOMELY AWESOME guitar. ....love it

[@thecaveofthedead]

I'm pretty excited by these guitars. I like the Gretsch design - especially the lightweight semi-hollow build. But I'm not wild about traditional Gretsch pickups. Only problem - I'm not crazy about these translucent finishes. I hope the blue 'gunmetal' ones with Bigsbys don't turn out to be rare as hens' teeth. I think they should have done them all in a range of solid finishes.

[@cameronpollard2387]

Perfect video, straight to the point and great playing! Might pick up one of these soon

[@DanLeggatt]

Cheers! 👍

[@dver4624]

Great tones and playing! As ever. The only thing I didn't like was the sweep of the tone control, but that's such a cheap fix that it's still an amazing value instrument. Those pickups sound wonderful.

[@DanLeggatt]

Thank you 👍 Definitely a great value guitar with its own thing going on. I might have to grab one for myself at some point!

[@alans1313]

Jesus Christ that tone! I just put one of these on layaway tonight! It has a wonderful thickness to its tone!

[@triplev3539]

I traded some equipment and small amount of cash and got this beauty and a gig bag. Didn't have a 335 type guitar or P90's in my other 4 guitars or a Gretsch. So looked at 3 in the price range I wanted and I chose this. Came down to this and Epiphone 339, Reverend 390 Jet Stream. Really liked the Jet Stream was used guitar, more money and had a nick on finish. Went New instead and less money. I already have a reverend rocco american model with coil taps and looking tunners.

[@peterblum613]

I am an absolute beginner and got this guitar about 7 months ago as my first guitar. It is hard for me at my stage to differentiate guitars. But I pulled the trigger because I knew that Gretsches are quality, and the guitar was at a steep discount from an already good price. For maximum playability, I got it professionally set up and switched the factory strings (10s) to 9s. I love it. It is beautiful looking as it sits in the room and easy to play. I always want to pick it up. A great bonus is that it also sounds good unplugged, making it easy to practice when the wife snd daughter are in the house. Perhaps my only criticism as I get a little experienced and more discriminating about sound is that I might want my next guitar to have slightly more high-end jangle.

[@AndyPMusic]

Great demo 👀😀I bought one of these today. Looking forward to the beautiful cleans and the crunchy gains 🦾

[@DanLeggatt]

Enjoy the new toy!

[@gerrypair3856]

Well I just order me one from Sweetwater. Before I saw your review. After watching your review. I,m so glad I did buy one. I love P90s. I just love there sound. I play a lot of country music and it dose a great job. I think its got that twang with some muscle behind it.

[@JoeGreenRocks]

Sounds great man, good to have you back and loving the addition of the Morgan!

[@DanLeggatt]

[@gregoryhall3156]

Whadda ya mean, ya ain’t got no Rockabilly chops-dude you’d past muster here in Arkansas! Beauty of a guitar and I am seriously thinking of adding this Gretsch in same color to my stable-as I have nothing with P-90s and I want a P-90 guitar and like that this is a bit dark-its rock to rockabilly to Jazz-and personally I love the Havana Burst color-my other 3 Gretsch gits all have filtertron/humbuckers. Great demo and spiffy playing!!!

[@DanLeggatt]

Ah that’s very kind of you to say! It’s a playing style very out of my comfort zone. I know some guys that can absolutely nail it! I’m a big Setzer fan but unfortunately can’t play anything like him 🤣 Thank you for watching 👍

Fantastic review. I got a questión. I'm looking for a rockabilly guitar with the classic bright, high-pitched Gresth sound. Which do you think is more appropriate for that, the G2622 or the G5655T? Thanks.

Nice review Thank you. I'm searching a guitar for my son birthday that is playing my Gibson 1997 ES135 (With P90 pickup), do you think he will be disappointed if I give this guitar?

[@spookshilljoe7376]

Great video as always. I own 4 gretsch. If you get one I'm sure you won't be sorry. I like the ones I have. I got a electromatic jet and 3 streamliners,2 of which are the smaller semi hollow bodies. One with a bigsby and one without. They both sound great but with a little different tone. Looks like I maybe heading for my fifth. Thanks for the great stuff. Keep up the great videos.

[@DanLeggatt]

Very cool sounding collection! Tonally do you notice much difference between the Bigsby and hard tail versions?

[@spookshilljoe7376]

Yes there's a difference especially when unplugged. The one without the bigsby is louder and fuller sounding. But when plugged in it's just a slight difference. I think the pickups are different. The bigsby model just says gretsch and the one without says gretsch bt-2s on the pickups. I don't no if they are different but I really like the bigsby . It has more of that gretsch sound. Both are very sweet sounding though.

[@DanLeggatt]

Nice! Thanks for the info. I’m considering getting hold of a G5655tg to add some Gretsch to the collection. Seems very tradition Gretsch without the body size being too cumbersome.

[@spookshilljoe7376]

It's very easy and light weight. Standing of sitting. The bigsby one isn't bad at neck dives as the one without. Mines the streamliner 2657t. I love it especially the great sounds.

[@yobanyhernandez125]

Hi Dan, would you say this guitar could metal riff perfectly fine ? Or does it get muddy ?

[@DanLeggatt]

There are definitely better options for metal. The p90s will be quite noisy with high gain. Possibly muddy due to the semi hollow too.

[@AndrewAHayes]

Please do some playing with some drums in future reviews as sometimes reviewers play too fast to hear the tonal nuances of the guitar, one YT reviewer starts a phrase at around 100 BPM and finishes off nearer 150BPM or higher, but without a beat, I think we all do this sometimes I have a Duojet 1993 57 reissue and I love that crisp tight sound, so I didn't think I would like this with P90's but I was surprised how good it is!
