The Streamliner Charm Serving the "That Great Gretsch Sound"
Following the lineage of the brand's legendary archtops, the Streamliner places the hollow single-cut aesthetic at the heart of an accessible range. The G2420T modernizes Gretsch's historic codes while preserving the elegance, refined binding, and generous projection that have made the house's large hollow bodies renowned. A bridge between heritage and the current scene.Who Is It For, and For What?
Ideal for ambitious beginner to intermediate/advanced guitarists seeking a versatile hollow body. Perfect for jazz, blues, rockabilly, swing, but also indie/rock and pop thanks to the coil split and master volume control that instantly refine saturation or brightness on stage and in the studio.The Sound
The Broad'Tron BT-3S deliver present mids, tight lows, and smooth highs. In humbucker mode, the tone is full and silky, with sustain nourished by the hollow maple body and the anchored bridge base. The push/pull opens up more airy and incisive single-coil-like textures. The combination of Adjusto-Matic bridge + Bigsby B60 provides attack, stability, and subtle vibratos, while the independent volumes and Master Tone allow precise sculpting of the instrument's place in the mix, from jazzy smoothness to retro twangs.Recommended Compatible Accessories
To protect and transport your instrument, opt for the Gretsch Streamliner G2420T hard case (p/n 099-2420-000) or the Gretsch Hollow Body G2162 gig bag (p/n 099-6458-000). For maintenance and playability, a set of .010-.046 nickel-plated steel strings fits perfectly with the original setup, including use with the Bigsby.Technical specifications
