Gretsch Professional Collection Broadkaster® LX Center Block Guitar

The Gretsch Broadkaster® LX Center Block from the Professional Collection is built for modern players who demand powerful tone, superior playability, and stage-ready performance. With its redesigned Channel Core™ center block, new Pro Twin Six™ humbucking pickups, and refined body design with deeper cutaways for improved upper fret access, the Broadkaster LX offers the versatility to handle everything from clean jazz textures to high-volume rock tones.

Available in Cadillac Green and Black, the Broadkaster LX is the perfect blend of classic Gretsch style and modern innovation.

Modern Performance Meets Classic Gretsch Style

The redesigned Channel Core™ center block, built from a maple top layer over a spruce bottom layer, enhances resonance and clarity while providing faster attack and tighter midrange punch. This design makes the Broadkaster LX ideal for high-volume playing while keeping feedback under control.

The refined body with deeper cutaways makes upper fret access smooth and effortless, giving guitarists more freedom to explore every inch of the neck with comfort and precision.

Pro Twin Six™ Pickups = Full-Spectrum Tone

The Pro Twin Six™ humbuckers deliver a wide tonal range with exceptional clarity and power:

Neck Pickup (Alnico 5, ~5.5k DCR): Warm, clear, and throaty without muddiness or compression.

Bridge Pickup (Alnico 4, ~12k DCR): Bright and articulate with enhanced midrange punch, tight lows, and sparkling highs.

Together, these pickups give you the tonal flexibility to explore jazz, rock, country, blues, and beyond-making the Broadkaster LX one of the most versatile semi-hollow Gretsch guitars ever built.
