Maple Body with New Center Block Design
The G2622 Center Block features an arched maple body and an all-new center block design under the hood. This new center block is designed to balance the comfort of lightweight with full, rich tone and increased presence, resulting in enhanced attack and sustain, and excellent feedback rejection, in a package that won’t weigh you down.
New Broad'Tron BT-3S Pickups
The G2622 is equipped with our new Broad'Tron BT-3S pickup set. Using a combination of Alnico 5 and Alnico 2 magnets, the new BT-3S pickups offer stronger mids, tight yet full lows, and smooth, clear highs that maintain a soft and musical presence.
Versatile Controls with Coil Splitting
The Streamliner’s sonic power is harnessed and shaped by the traditional control layout: neck and bridge pickup volume controls, master tone control, master volume control, and three-way pickup selector switch.
The addition of a push/pull pot on the master volume control enables coil splitting for useful single-coil sounds, adding a new layer of tonal versatility to an already powerful sonic arsenal.
