Gretsch Guitars
Description
The G2420T Streamliner Hollowbody Single-Cut with Bigsby is designed for the modern guitarist who yearns for something beyond the norm. A commanding guitar for powerful players, the G2420T’s modern sonics, updated electronics and authentically elegant style create the latest iteration of That Great Gretsch Sound. 

The secret to the Streamliner’s sound is a new offering from Gretsch—the Broad’Tron BT-2S humbucking pickup. Designed specifically for the Streamliner Collection, the high-output Broad’Tron pickup spawns improved definition with tighter bass response for robust lows, pristine highs and a throaty midrange. This sonic power is harnessed and shaped by the traditional control layout—neck and bridge pickup volume controls, a master tone control, master volume control and three-way pickup switching.

A fast-playing 12”-radius laurel fingerboard with elegant pearloid Hump Block inlays and 22 medium-jumbo frets sits atop the white-bound nato neck with a thin “U”-shaped profile—ideal for chord work or firing off hot-rodded riffing. Add some shimmer and expression to your playing with the Bigsby-licensed B60 vibrato tailpiece, while the Adjusto-Matic bridge with secured laurel base and synthetic bone nut grant amazing tuning stability.

All the classic eye-catching style you’ve come to expect from Gretsch is here—vintage-style black control knobs, enlarged F-holes for increased acoustic projection, elegant aged white binding with upgraded purfling, slick-looking nickel hardware, arched laminated maple construction and three-ply tortoise pickguard. Nearly impossible to put down once you pick it up and start playing, the G2420T is an astounding take on the classic sound and style you’ve come to expect from Gretsch.

    Picked this up on a special deal, net price was around $350, which is a steal IMO. This is a solid, well made-instrument that came already set up pretty well, and sounds and plays wonderfully. Very happy with this, immediately one of my favorite guitars....

  • Sweet playing guitar

    I use this for practicing at home and jamming with some friends. I like the lighter weight of the hollow-body compared to my older solid body electric.

  • Awesome awesome awesome

    It's fun to play and feels and looks great but as soon as you use the Bigsby you really can't play any longer without re-tuning. Anyone know a solution...?

  • Really good instrument.

    A guitar at this price point isn't going to "come to life" the way a "Country Gent", or an "L5" would. However it is well designed and executed and can be made easy to play, adjusted to play in tune all the way up the neck, and capable of producing a "tone" that could suit most any taste. All you need in a guitar.

  • I would definitely buy this guitar again

    First, guitar center was absolutely great to work with, this guitar in candy apple red is beautiful, all it needed right out of the box was tuned, the action makes it so easy to play and it's hard to put this guitar down. I still have my stratocaster but this is the guitar I pick up to play everyday. The Gretsch sound is what I was looking for and I'm absolutely thrilled with this purchase.

    Which case fits this? Will it fit in the case for the 16" guitars?

    No. You would need a hollow body case that is designed to accept a bigsby. Give us a call at 866-498-7882 and we can help you find a case that will fit your needs.
