The Streamliner G2655 revitalizes the best elements from the past and combines them with modern features to deliver exceptional performance, sound, and style to create an enhanced playing experience.

The thin, lightweight body creates a comfortable playing experience. The V-Stoptail bridge keeps the guitar’s tuning stable, and combined with the centre block, the guitar is highly resonant and delivers full tonal complexity.

Key Features

  • Signature Gretsch Tone – Broad’Tron BT-3S humbucking pickups are designed to deliver impactful punch with lots of tonal clarity.
  • Expertly Designed Hollow-Body – The fully hollow arched Maple body gives a rich fullness, deep resonance and “big-body sound”.
  • Comfortable Playing Experience – The soft “C” neck combined with the jumbo frets make playing smooth.
  • Coil-Splitting – The coil-splitting provides useful single coil sounds, adding another layer of tonal versatility to an already strong sonic arsenal.

All-New Broad’Tron BT-3S Pickups

The G2420 features our new Broad’Tron BT-3S pickups. Utilizing a combination of Alnico 5 and Alnico 2 magnets, the new BT-3S pickups provide stronger mids, tight but full lows, and smooth clear highs that retain a smooth and musical presence.

Versatile Controls with Coil-Splitting

The Streamliner’s 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.

The addition of a push/pull pot on the master volume control allows coil-splitting to provide useful single coil sounds, adding another layer of tonal versatility to an already strong sonic arsenal.

With features such as Filter’Tron pickups, Bigsby tremolos, and ornate finishes, Gretsch guitars blend elegance with attitude. Whether it’s the warm chime of a White Falcon or the punch of a Duo Jet, Gretsch instruments continue to offer timeless character and individuality for players who want something truly unique.

Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

Guitars

Guitars cover a wide range of instruments designed to suit different styles, techniques, and sounds, from acoustic and classical models to solid body, semi-hollow, and hollow electric designs. Factors like body shape, scale length, neck profile, string type, and pickups all influence how a guitar feels and responds, making each type suited to different players and musical approaches. Whether used for rhythm, lead, songwriting, or experimentation, guitars are expressive, versatile instruments that form the heart of countless genres and playing styles.

Hollow Body Electric Guitars

Hollow body electric guitars feature a fully hollow construction that gives them a warm, resonant, and open tone. The air inside the body enhances natural acoustic character, making these guitars especially popular for jazz, blues, and vintage-inspired styles. They respond beautifully to touch and dynamics, offering rich chord detail and smooth lead tones, though they are generally best suited to lower to moderate volume levels. Hollow body electric guitars are ideal for players who value warmth, expressiveness, and a more organic feel in their amplified sound.
