Description

The Gretsch G2420 Streamliner Hollow Body in Village Amber is a classic single cutaway archtop aimed at guitarists who want that unmistakable hollow body voice without the boutique price. It is perfect for blues, jazz, rockabilly and indie players who need woody acoustic character with the punch and focus of modern humbuckers. Whether you are stepping up from your first guitar or adding a versatile hollow body to a growing collection, the G2420 delivers a lively, open tone that feels instantly musical. Finished in a glowing Village Amber, it looks the part on stage and in the studio, with vintage styling that sits comfortably in any band setting.

Features

Expressive hollow body voice

The fully hollow laminated maple body gives the G2420 an airy resonance and natural projection that responds beautifully to touch. Chords bloom with warmth while single notes sing with a rounded top end, making it a superb choice for styles that value dynamics and nuance. The single cutaway provides easy upper fret access, so melodic lines and chord extensions feel effortless across the neck.

Broad’Tron BT-2S humbuckers

A pair of Broad’Tron BT-2S humbuckers supplies a confident, modern take on the classic Gretsch sound. They balance clarity and output, keeping bass tight, mids articulate and highs sweet. Clean tones shimmer with definition, while drive pedals reveal a focused growl that holds together at band volumes. The traditional Gretsch control layout makes it simple to shape your sound mid-song.

Comfortable playability

A smooth Thin U neck profile with a laurel fingerboard and 12 inch radius offers an easy, familiar feel for both rhythm and lead work. Medium jumbo frets support accurate bends and secure intonation. The Adjusto-Matic bridge and V-Stoptail work with die-cast tuners to provide stable tuning and reliable performance, so you can concentrate on playing, not constant adjustments.

Ready for lessons, rehearsals and gigs

Quiet operation from the humbuckers is ideal for classrooms, practice rooms and home use. The guitar’s responsive dynamics make it a strong companion for graded pieces, ensemble work and open mic gigs. Durable construction, a tough gloss finish and dependable hardware mean it stands up to regular transport and daily practice, offering excellent long-term value for students and working players alike.
