Play your way to iconic sound. The Broadkaster Jr has the duo of a smaller-sized body with a chambered spruce center block. The result is that recognisable strong, dynamic response with a warm, tone. It’s also matched with modern playability. The 12”-radius ebony fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and Neo-Classic thumbnail inlays give you ultimate control as well as making sure every single note you play rings out with clarity and sustain.
It’s your sound
Pickups that listen. Equipped with a pair of high sensitive Filter'Tron pickups, the Broadkaster will respond to your individual playing style ensuring your unique sound is heard. It’s an opportunity to stamp out your signature. These humbuckers will release a balanced tone that’s great for experimenting with your genre. Just because you run with tradition, it doesn’t mean you can’t tweak it. The Filter’Trons also push your sound through the mix during those crowd-pleasing solos and lay a solid foundation when you're strumming out those rhythm chords. Quality and versatile – well done Gretsch.
Pivotal comfort and performance
Play at your best. Gretsch have made sure the Broadkaster has everything you need for a comfortable performance. A lowered neck set makes chord transitions effortless, keeping your wrist feeling natural and letting you play around with that riff you couldn’t quite master before. You’ll see a difference in your accuracy and stamina. The single cutaway also makes rocking out those licks easy thanks to upper fret access without that awkward pivoting or palm obstruction. But don’t worry, despite these modern features, it still has what every Gretsch player wants - vintage style.
The revered Bigsby
It's essential for any serious guitarist. How else could you incorporate your own personality into your playing? Thankfully, the Broadkaster Jr comes with the Bigsby vibrato you need for your exhilarating performances. The freedom of creativity is right at your fingertips. Perform the most audacious of vibrato effects, whether it's a shimmer to your notes in a solo or a splash of style to a chord. Push your music to its limits.
