Streamliner: the Gretsch spirit in a modern and accessible version
The G2420 Streamliner embraces the codes that made the brand famous on jazz, rock'n'roll, and rockabilly stages: an expressive hollow body, an immediately recognizable aesthetic, and a sound character full of personality. It is designed with the modern player in mind, offering comfortable playability and simple electronics to quickly find your tone without complications.
For which guitarists and styles
This Gretsch is suited both for motivated beginners and intermediate players looking for a versatile hollow body. It excels in jazz (rich chords, soft attacks), blues (thick, singing notes), and rockabilly (snappy, dynamic), while remaining comfortable for more energetic rock thanks to its humbuckers. Its 24.75" / 629 mm scale length promotes smooth playability, especially for chord transitions and solo lines.
The sound
The maple hollow body delivers a very lively response: you get a naturally full sound, with generous projection and a sense of resonance that adds depth to chords. Maple also helps maintain definition in the attack, useful for precise rhythms and articulated melodic lines.
The two Broad'Tron BT-2S humbuckers broaden the palette: the neck pickup favors round lows and warm mids, perfect for jazz and blues textures, while the bridge pickup adds more bite for rock rhythms and rockabilly licks. The master volume, master tone, and 3-position selector switch allow quick shifts from an open, bright sound to a more mellow tone, while keeping a solid and balanced foundation.
