The Gretsch Broadkaster Jr LX: Proof that compact size and big Gretsch tone are not mutually exclusive

The Gretsch Professional Collection Broadkaster Jr. LX is a guitar for the player who knows classic Gretsch tone and knows what they want. In Blackberry, a deep, rich color that matches the instrument's character, this semi-hollow body guitar combines the compact size of the Junior line with the hardware and electronics of the Professional Collection. This is not an entry-level model: this is a mature instrument with its own voice.

The two Two Pro Twin Six pickups deliver the characteristic Gretsch sound: clear, open, and with that unmistakable twang you recognize from the big names in rockabilly, jazz, and country. The Adjusto-Matic bridge combined with the Bigsby B7GP vibrato gives you subtle expression and rich sustain, while the Gotoh locking machine heads keep the tuning stable. Control via Master Volume, Master Tone, and two individual volume controls gives you complete command over the mix between neck and bridge pickups.

The Maple body and neck give the Broadkaster Jr. LX a bright, defined tone with a fast response. The Ebony fretboard with Pearloid Neo-Classic Thumbnail inlays plays smoothly across all 22 medium jumbo frets on a 12" radius and a 24.75" scale length. The Standard U-profile neck fits comfortably in the hand and provides a secure grip without feeling too heavy.

The Gretsch Broadkaster Jr. LX Blackberry comes with a hardshell case. A guitar you don't explain, but let it be heard.
