A guitar you'll never want to leave your hands. The Gretsch Streamliner feels incredibly natural when you're holding it. This is thanks to its slim "U"-shaped neck. With such a compact size, the neck is easy to get your hand around, making even the most difficult chords simple. Plus, the "U" profile fits comfortably into the palm of your hand, allowing you to play on for long periods of time without suffering from cramp.
There's more. The sleek, satin-finished nato neck is wonderfully smooth. Your hand will be able to glide up and down it with ease. A slick, fast-playing rosewood fingerboard lets you solo with speed and dynamism. This is a guitar that's tailored to let you play with pace and precision.
Powerful, versatile sound
An electronic system that's designed to give you everything. Gretsch have put painstaking effort into ensuring that the G2420T-P90 Streamliner has wide-reaching sound that will give you endless choice in your music.
A duo of different pickups is the key to creating such an interesting, varied tonal palette. At the bridge, they've loaded in a humbucking Broad'Tron pickup. This affords you a vicious attack, allowing you to play with aggression, while maintaining clarity and eliminating noise interference. You'll also benefit from raw, vibrant tone created by the single-coil P90 Dog Ear pickup at the neck position. While this combo is perfect for rock 'n' roll, the expansive nature of the guitar's sound makes it ideal for pretty much any playing style you can think of.
Unique Bigsby pitch bending
Totally experimental. This is a guitar that will really let you explore its sonic possibilities. A Bigsby B60 vibrato tailpiece allows you to add distinctive tremble to your playing to create an entirely individual soundscape.
The B60 vibrato bar lets you tweak notes and chords easily with your pick hand. Bigsby vibratos' entirely original sound and powerful strength has made them a fixture in the sound of some of the greatest musicians of all time. From Keith Richards to Jimmy Page, George Harrison to Jack White, and Eric Clapton to David Bowie, the Bigsby is the go-to for creating an entirely extraordinary sound.
Legendary Gretsch quality
Made by manufacturers who are woven into the history of rock 'n' roll. Gretsch's iconic sound has seen their guitars find the way into the hands of some of rock music's most lauded performers.
The list is staggering. Pete Townshend used one to cut Quadrophenia with The Who, as well as on their gigantic, iconic hit "Won't Get Fooled Again". George Harrison played one on a ton of Beatles material (he even used to get annoyed when John Lennon kept asking to borrow it). Neil Young. Velvet Underground. Eric Clapton. The Rolling Stones. The illustrious collection of artists who have used a Gretsch in their music reads like a who's who of music's greatest. It's about time you experienced why these marvellous guitars are considered so remarkable.
