PROS
- • Broad'Tron pickups deliver a surprisingly thick, articulate, and vintage-flavored tone.
- • The Soft inCin neck profile is genuinely comfortable for extended playing sessions.
- • Centre block design tames feedback and provides more sustain than a fully hollow body.
- • Laurel fingerboard offers a warmer, slightly softer feel compared to rosewood.
CONS
- • High-gloss Nato neck can feel a little slick for some players; consider a lighter finish.
- • Limited pickup versatility – coil splitting helps, but it’s not a do-everything axe.
- • Maple body, while resonant, contributes to a heavier-than-average feel.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Broad'Tron has a tighter, more focused high-end than a P90, offering more clarity and less muddiness, but still retains a good amount of grit.
Yes, the Soft inCin profile is noticeably thinner and more rounded than many other Gretsch necks, making it easier to navigate for players with smaller hands or those who prefer a faster feel.
The centre block design helps mitigate feedback, but it’s still a hollowbody – be mindful of amp placement and gain settings, especially at stage volumes.
