Description
Introducing the Gretsch G2420T Streamliner™ Hollow Body with Bigsby® in a mesmerizing Midnight Sapphire finish—a remarkable fusion of vintage inspiration and modern craftsmanship. Embracing the essence of Gretsch’s illustrious legacy while integrating modern enhancements, this guitar is tailor-made for contemporary guitarists who desire a distinctive sound and style.
At the heart of the G2420T’s incredible sound is its dual Broad’Tron™ BT-3S humbucking pickups. Harnessing the strength of both Alnico 5 and Alnico 2 magnets, these pickups project a robust midrange, full and tight lows, alongside smooth, crystalline highs. This results in a musical presence that stands out in any mix. The fully hollow arched maple body not only offers aesthetic elegance but also produces a resonant, “big-body” tone, encapsulating rich fullness and deep resonance that is bound to captivate listeners.
The guitar’s neck, made of Nato and sporting a soft “C” shape, ensures comfortable playability, complemented by the 12”-radius laurel fingerboard adorned with pearloid Neo Classic™ thumbnail inlays and 22 medium jumbo frets. The real bone nut is a nod to tradition, known for enhancing sustain and providing a smooth tonal character.
Functionality marries form with the G2420T’s versatile controls. From individual volume knobs for each pickup, a master tone, to a master volume control that offers push/pull coil-splitting functionality—players get a wide spectrum of tonal possibilities. Whether you’re after the humbucking warmth or the crispness of single coils, this guitar has you covered. The addition of a Bigsby® B60 vibrato tailpiece lets you introduce gentle vibrato and pitch modulation, further enhancing your expressiveness.
From its Adjusto-Matic™ bridge, ensuring consistent intonation, to the nickel hardware and three-ply tortoise pickguard that exudes class, every detail reflects Gretsch’s commitment to quality. And, while the guitar holds its own in terms of aesthetics and sound, the updated electronics and the authentically elegant design truly embody That Great Gretsch® Sound!™.
In a world flooded with generic instruments, the Gretsch G2420T Streamliner™ stands as a beacon for players seeking a guitar with a voice and look all its own. Experience the blend of the past and present with this superbly crafted instrument, and let it elevate your musical journey. Perfect for those who are after unparalleled performance, iconic sound, and timeless style—all without breaking the bank.
