Gretsch Electromatic Chris Rocha Broadkaster Jr. Centre Block is a signature semi-hollow electric guitar built for expressive tone, tight control, and high-performance worship and gospel playing. Designed in collaboration with renowned guitarist and producer Chris Rocha, this Broadkaster Jr. model brings together Gretsch’s signature style with player-focused enhancements for professional, stage-ready sound.
The guitar features a chambered spruce centre block running through a compact Broadkaster Jr. body, which helps reduce feedback while enhancing sustain and resonance. The body is crafted from laminated maple and finished in a stunning gloss polyurethane, providing a balanced tonal response and a sleek visual presence on stage.
At the core of the Broadkaster Jr.’s tone are a pair of Broad’Tron BT-65 humbuckers, custom-voiced by Chris Rocha for warm, clear cleans and thick, punchy overdrive. These pickups capture every nuance of dynamic playing, perfect for ambient textures, rhythmic comping, and soaring leads in modern worship music.
The guitar’s 12”-radius laurel fingerboard and set-in maple neck deliver smooth, fast playability, ideal for both rhythm and lead work. Additional features include a secured Adjusto-Matic™ bridge, Bigsby® B70 vibrato tailpiece, and sealed die-cast tuners, providing solid tuning stability and expressive pitch modulation.
Finished with gold hardware, aged binding, and Rocha’s signature touches, the Electromatic Broadkaster Jr. is a visually stunning and sonically versatile instrument. Whether on stage or in the studio, it delivers professional-grade performance tailored to the needs of modern guitarists.
