A New Look and Sound for the Streamliner
Catch the Gretsch G2420T Streamliner hollowbody electric guitar looking and sounding better than ever, with a handful of updated appointments to boot! Guitarists love the sound of the G2420T Streamliner's revamped Broad'Tron BT-3S neck and bridge humbuckers, as they translate rich, hum-free tones with aplomb. An added push-pull coil-splitting circuit supplies an enhanced palate for tonal creativity, further aided by an array of shaping controls. A new look for the modern G2420T Streamliner is a dressing of Gretsch's iconic neoclassical inlays up and down the laurel fingerboard, while a Bigsby B60 vibrato tailpiece delivers tremendous old-school pitch bending. Finally, a shift to a soft "C"-shaped neck profile adds a greater element of classic comfort for all players, while a charming selection of available finishes atop the maple-bodied G2420T Streamliner gives each instrument a distinctive elegance.
Tried-and-true wood combo
Despite the aforementioned updates, the tonewoods of choice comprising the G2420T Streamliner remain virtually unchanged and for good reason! The lightweight and all-maple body of this single-cutaway, full-hollowbody guitar creates an incredibly bright and articulate platform for both projective acoustic strumming and detailed response when plugged in. Sticking to the lightweight theme, the nato wood neck is carved with a new soft "C"-shaped profile, facilitating a more familiar feel in hand that's a guaranteed comfortable fit for guitarists of all styles. Atop the neck sits the steadfast laurel fingerboard, boasting Gretsch's legendarily subtle neoclassical inlays across a 22-fret territory that's perfectly tailored for your favorite tuneage, from rock and jazz to western and beyond!
Meet the Broad'Tron BT-3S
The Broad'Tron humbucker is a lauded choice for disparate sounds and musical styles. Its latest iteration, the BT-3S, is certainly no exception. Situated in both the neck and bridge positions, the BT-3S serves up ideal noise-free humbucking richness that's smooth and tame at low volumes yet turns a corner for mammoth high-output tones when given some volume and muscle. From Larry Carlton-style phrasing to Pete Townshend-like chording, you can channel just about any tone you please with per-pickup volume controls, a master volume, and a master tone control. Did we mention that the G2420T now coil-splits? You've got access to not only a sweet set of humbuckers, but the option to engage sharper and characterful single-coil sounds at the mere pull of a control knob.
Hardware you can count on
Backing the brilliant build and boast-worthy tone of the G2420T Streamliner is a nickel hardware set that looks incredible and performs just as well. Starting at the headstock, a set of sealed die-cast tuners affords players the freedom to own every musical moment without stressing over constant intonation issues. Down the body, a sturdy and easily adaptable Adjusto-Matic bridge helps deliver maximum tonal purity at a settable height that's comfortable for you. Lastly, a Bigsby B60 vibrato tailpiece anchors the G2420T Streamliner, offering players the freedom to tone-dip as they please with glorious old-school warble.
