Players are set up from the get-go for a brilliant and articulate tonal foundation of flame maple at the top, back, and sides of the compact-bodied Broadkaster Jr. LX Figured. The updated Channel Core center block of this semi-hollow factors spruce into the equation, which further improves the natural attack of this 6-string and helps bring midrange presence to the forefront. A matching maple neck shaped to a standard U profile and topped with a rounded-edge, 12-inch-radius ebony fingerboard lands in your hand with an optimized old-school feel, coming subtly flagged with those iconic Neo-Classic thumbnail fret markers.
The Broadkaster Jr. LX Figured’s optimal electric performance injects Gretsch’s modern sound with even greater power. To thank are Pro Twin Six humbuckers, which can easily dig into a variety of genres spanning from crunchy classic tones to the contemporary edge of alternative. To solidify your sound, classic Gretsch shaping controls apply, including per-pickup Volumes, a Squeezebox capacitor-equipped no-load master Tone control, and that distinct master Volume knob at the cutaway spec’d with treble bleed. Tweak to your heart’s content and unearth a wealth of tempting Gretsch tones entirely your own.
Stem to stern, the golden glow of the Broadkaster Jr. LX Figured’s hardware ornamentation signifies a coveted legacy of class and professional playability. Down at the body, an Adjusto-matic bridge works with a handsomely imposing Bigsby B7GP string-through vibrato tailpiece, ensuring noteworthy sustain to accompany its traditional expressiveness. At the headstock, sealed-back Gotoh locking tuners alleviate intonation concerns for optimal live performance and studio tracking conditions. Furthermore, this Gretsch’s golden charm fills in every gap, from its pickup covers and plates to its knobs, selector switch, headstock plaque, and unmistakable Plexi pickguard.
