Smaller 14-inch Single-Cutaway Body

Designed for enhanced comfort and portability, the compact 14-inch body size makes the G5655T-QM ideal for players who prefer a lighter, more manageable instrument without sacrificing tone or presence on stage.

Quilted Maple Top, Back, and Sides

The laminated quilted maple gives the guitar a stunning visual appeal while contributing to a bright, articulate tone. The arched construction enhances resonance and projection.

Chambered Spruce Center Block

A lightweight spruce center block runs the length of the body, increasing sustain and reducing feedback at higher volumes. It adds clarity and warmth to the tone while keeping the guitar comfortable to hold during long sessions.

Dual Broad'Tron Humbucking Pickups

These pickups are engineered for high-output power and definition. Expect a full, well-balanced sound with tight lows, rich mids, and clear highs—suitable for everything from clean blues to heavy rock.

Bigsby B70 Vibrato Tailpiece

Classic vibrato styling and smooth pitch modulation make the Bigsby a standout feature. It's perfect for subtle shimmer or expressive bends, while maintaining tuning stability when used with restraint.

Thin U-Shaped Maple Neck

The neck’s slim profile is comfortable for a wide range of hand sizes and playing styles. Combined with the shorter 24.6-inch scale length, it allows for easier chording and fast lead playing.

12-inch Radius Laurel Fingerboard with 22 Medium Jumbo Frets

The laurel fingerboard offers a smooth feel under the fingers, while the 12-inch radius strikes a balance between chordal comfort and soloing ease. Medium jumbo frets support modern playability and smooth string bending.

Adjusto-Matic Bridge with Anchored Base

Ensures accurate intonation and tuning stability. Combined with the Bigsby, this setup offers solid control and precise response, even with dynamic playing.

Master Volume with Treble Bleed Circuit

The treble bleed keeps your high-end frequencies intact when rolling down the volume, preserving clarity and articulation even at lower output levels.

Individual Pickup Volume & Master Tone Controls

Shape your tone with precision using dedicated volume knobs for each pickup and a master tone control for overall warmth or brightness.

Premium Appointments

A gold plexi pickguard, nickel hardware, aged white binding, and pearloid thumbnail inlays give the G5655T-QM a classic yet upscale aesthetic. The Mariana finish adds a rich, deep-blue touch that stands out on stage.
