Description

Edit description

Discover the Gretsch Streamliner G2420T, a semi-hollowbody electric guitar that marries vintage style with modern playability. Crafted with a sleek walnut stain finish, this guitar boasts a classic single-cutaway design that pays homage to Gretsch's rich history. The G2420T is perfect for musicians seeking a versatile instrument capable of producing everything from warm jazz tones to gritty rock riffs.

At the heart of this beauty lies its pair of Broad'Tron BT-2S pickups, delivering a dynamic range of sound that is both powerful and clear. Whether you're playing smooth blues or high-energy rock, these pickups ensure your tone is always on point. The addition of a Bigsby B60 vibrato tailpiece offers expressive tremolo capabilities, allowing for subtle pitch modulation or dramatic dive-bombs with ease.

Comfort and playability are not overlooked. A thin "U" shaped neck profile provides a comfortable grip for any playing style, while the laurel fingerboard offers a smooth, responsive feel. With its blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern enhancements, the Gretsch Streamliner G2420T is as much a piece of art as it is a powerful musical tool.

Critic Reviews

Gretsch Streamliner G2420T Review - Premier Guitar

premierguitar.com

The Gretsch Streamliner G2420T delivers classic rockabilly aesthetics and versatile tones at a compelling price point. Its vintage-inspired styling and Bigsby vibrato tailpiece nod to Gretsch's heritage, while the Broad’Tron BT-2S pickups offer a hotter, more modern sound that remains articulate and clear, even with overdrive. Although the sharp nut corners detract slightly from playability, this is easily remedied. With a street price around $549, the G2420T offers excellent build quality and tonal versatility, making it an attractive option for players seeking an affordable hollowbody with authentic Gretsch character.

REVIEWED: GRETSCH STREAMLINER G2420T GUITAR REVIEW - Mixdown Magazine

mixdownmag.com.au

The Gretsch Streamliner G2420T is a versatile jazz guitar that straddles the line between vintage charm and modern playability. With its sleek neck and proprietary Broad’Tron pickups, it offers a dynamic range perfect for complex jazz chords and more. Its acoustic performance is delicate, while its plugged-in sound thrives across various effects, except for extreme high-gain pedals. While it may initially seem daunting to non-jazz players, its design encourages exploration and skill enhancement. The guitar shines with its classy aesthetics and modern hardware, though its genre-specific appeal might not cater to all tastes. Overall, a compelling choice for those looking to delve into jazz or expand their sonic palette.

Gretsch G2420T Streamliner review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

The Gretsch Streamliner G2420T offers an impressive build-to-price ratio, delivering classic Gretsch aesthetics and versatile tones at an affordable price point. Its hotter pickups expand its sonic palette, making it suitable for various styles, especially older, lower-volume genres. However, the guitar is not without flaws; the tuners can feel slightly sponge-y, and the tonality is thicker than traditional Gretsch models. Overall, it's a commendable choice for those seeking a vintage vibe without breaking the bank.

Great guitar

I really love this guitar. It has a very nice bright sound and is quite comfortable. Though I don't play it in a band setting ( I play heavy stuff and have other guitars for that ) I find myself picking it up quite often just to tinker around. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a hollowbody electric.
