Gretsch

collapse expand iconDescription

The Gretsch G2420 Streamliner Hollow Body electric guitar provides full, articulate tone and premium playability. Designed for guitarists seeking vintage-inspired sound and style, the G2420 Streamliner Hollow Body features dual Broad'Tron BT-3S humbucking pickups that deliver balanced output and clarity across the tonal spectrum.

Fully Hollow Maple Body Resonates Rich Tone

The G2420 Streamliner Hollow Body's arched maple top, back and sides generate airy resonance and projection. The hollow body construction enhances clarity and dynamic range, allowing single notes and chords to ring out with harmonic depth and nuance. Overall, the maple body provides a balanced tonal platform for the Broad'Tron BT-3S pickups.

Vintage Vibe, Modern Playability

You'll appreciate the G2420's blend of retro aesthetics and contemporary design. The arched maple body, Adjusto-Matic bridge and Bigsby-licensed vibrato tailpiece evoke Gretsch's iconic hollow body guitars of the 1950s and 60s. However, the 12" fingerboard radius, medium jumbo frets and coil-splitting volume control provide a slick, versatile playing experience suited for today's guitarist.

Dual Broad'Tron BT-3S Pickups

The G2420 Streamliner Hollow Body's dual Broad'Tron BT-3S humbucking pickups provide focused, articulate tone across the tonal spectrum. The pickups feature alnico magnets and overwound coils for balanced output and clarity. Whether you're playing jazz, blues, rock or fusion, the Broad'Tron BT-3S pickups respond dynamically to your playing style and technique.

Premium Playability and Style

The G2420 Streamliner Hollow Body's soft nato neck, 12" radius laurel fingerboard and 22 medium jumbo frets provide a comfortable playing feel. The neck's soft C profile facilitates chordal rhythm playing and single-note soloing with equal ease. A master volume control, master tone control and individual pickup volume controls allow you to shape your tone. Vintage-inspired touches like the tortoise pickguard, Adjusto-Matic bridge and Chromatic II tailpiece complete the upscale aesthetic.
