Description

Gretsch went all out on the latest iteration of their stunning G2420T Streamliner single-cutaway hollowbody with Bigsby. This beauty was created for the modern player who is in search of a guitar that stands out from all the rest. This big and bold guitar runs the show and is best suited for players who crave that powerhouse mega-sound. G2420T features truly chic style and improved electronics garnering that classic Gretsch sound.

Elegant and Authentic Sound

The G2420T Streamliner’s best-kept secret in their sound development is attributed to their Broad’Tron humbucking pickup. These humbuckers were custom designed to foster a large output of crystal-clear highs, gruff and blended middle tones, and vigorously hefty lows. Its one-of-a-kind resonating quality also blends beautifully with other live instruments without losing any of its charm or character.

Electronics You Know and Trust

Gretsch’s tried-and-true control layout offers neck and bridge pickup volume, master tone and master volume controls and harnessed a three-way pickup switch option. The rosewood fingerboard features cool pearloid block inlays and 22 medium-jumbo frets, and is set upon a thin white-bound nato, U-shaped neck for ultimate playability. It features the popular Bigsby B60 tailpiece and its body is comprised of arched laminated maple with a beautiful gloss finish. The Adjusto-matic bridge with a rosewood base and synthetic bone nut gives players maximum confidence in tone and intonation. The familiar hollowbody resonance is bolstered by parallel tone bars on its top, allowing free-soaring sonic potential without compromising its balanced tonal nature.

A Striking Vintage Vibe

The G2420T Streamliner has everything we expect from stunning Gretsch guitars, that classic vintage and captivating look. It features gold control knobs, beautiful and resounding F holes, chic nickel hardware, sophisticated two-ply white and black body binding, and single-ply black pickguard with a fancy Gretsch emblem. Once you have this guitar in your clutches, you will not want to play anything else.
