From the gold sparkle binding to the elegant pearloid inlays, every detail of the Broadkaster Jr. is designed to inspire your creativity. Make your mark on stage and in the studio with the Gretsch Electromatic Chris Rocha Broadkaster Jr.

Unique Chambered Spruce Center Block Provides Resonance and Reduces Weight

The Broadkaster Jr. has a chambered spruce center block that enhances resonance while decreasing overall weight. The open design allows the guitar to vibrate freely, resulting in rich, lively tone. Weighing in at a comfortable 6.6lb. this semi-hollow body guitar won't weigh you down during long sets. The chambered construction makes the Broadkaster Jr. a pleasure to play on stage or in the studio.

Thin U-Shaped Neck and 12" Radius Fingerboard Enable Comfortable Playability

Shredding lightning-fast leads is effortless on the Broadkaster Jr.'s slim maple neck. Its thin U profile and 12" radius rosewood fingerboard allow smooth, comfortable access to even the highest frets. The neck is designed for speed but retains a vintage-inspired feel. Combined with the smooth satin finish, you'll find endless inspiration flowing from the Broadkaster Jr.'s neck.

Dual High Sensitive Filter'Tron Pickups Deliver a Punchy Tone

A pair of High Sensitive Filter'Tron humbucking pickups provide the Broadkaster Jr. with articulate tone and punch. These wide-aperture pickups capture every nuance of your playing. You'll appreciate their balanced midrange and tight low end when crafting rhythm parts. When it's time for a searing lead, just roll up the volume and let the Filter'Trons roar. The three-way toggle switch lets you select neck, bridge or both pickups for a broad tonal palette.

Bigsby B70 Vibrato Tailpiece Adds Expressive Effects

The iconic Bigsby B70 vibrato tailpiece allows you to infuse your playing with expressive pitch effects. Subtle warbling vibratos and swooping dives are easy to execute by rocking the Bigsby's arm. The tension is optimized so you won't knock the Broadkaster Jr. out of tune. Add new dimensions to your solos and chord voicings with the smooth, responsive action of the Bigsby B70.

Gold Sparkle Binding and Hardware for Visual Flair

This signature model has eye-catching looks to match its impressive sound. Gold sparkle binding along the body and neck gives the Broadkaster Jr. a touch of Gretsch flair. Complementing this is gold hardware including the master volume and tone knobs, pickup selector switch tip and bridge. The gold appointments contrast beautifully against the Vintage White finish. Visually distinctive, the Broadkaster Jr. makes an impression before you ever play a note.
