The Gretsch G2420 Streamliner Hollow Body is a striking full-sized hollow-body electric guitar that combines classic Gretsch styling with a versatile modern voice. Finished in Aged Brooklyn Burst, the G2420 has an unmistakable vintage-inspired appearance, making it an excellent choice for players looking for a guitar with plenty of visual character as well as a distinctive tone. Its large hollow-body construction produces a naturally open and resonant acoustic character, while the dual humbucking pickup configuration gives it plenty of versatility when plugged into an amplifier.

The G2420 is fitted with Gretsch Broad'Tron humbucking pickups, which provide a powerful yet articulate sound with plenty of body and definition. These pickups are capable of producing warm, rounded clean tones while retaining clarity when pushed into overdrive. The neck pickup is particularly well suited to smooth, mellow sounds, while the bridge pickup provides a brighter and more focused response. Used together, the two pickups offer a balanced sound that works particularly well for blues, rock, jazz, country, rockabilly and indie styles.

A straightforward control layout makes it easy to shape the guitar's sound while playing. Individual volume controls allow the output of each pickup to be balanced, while the master volume and master tone controls provide quick access to the overall character of the instrument. This makes the G2420 equally practical for home playing, recording and live performance, where being able to make quick tonal adjustments is important.

The guitar features a comfortable Nato neck paired with a Laurel fingerboard and 22 medium jumbo frets. The 24.75" scale length gives the instrument a familiar and comfortable feel, particularly for players accustomed to traditional Gibson-style scale lengths. The 12" fingerboard radius provides a smooth playing surface that is well suited to both chord work and lead playing, while the generous hollow-body design gives the instrument a comfortable and commanding presence.

The G2420 also features Gretsch's Chromatic II tailpiece alongside an Adjusto-Matic bridge. This combination provides a classic appearance while helping to maintain reliable tuning and accurate intonation. The hardware and appointments complement the guitar's vintage-inspired design, while the practical construction makes it a dependable instrument for regular playing.

One of the most appealing aspects of the G2420 is its ability to cover a surprisingly broad range of musical styles. Its hollow construction and Gretsch-inspired electronics make it naturally suited to clean and lightly driven sounds, but the Broad'Tron pickups also provide enough output and punch to handle heavier rock tones. With the right amplifier and effects, it can move comfortably from warm jazz and blues tones through to gritty rock and more modern sounds.

The Aged Brooklyn Burst finish adds to the guitar's vintage character, with the burst highlighting the contours and large body shape beautifully. Combined with Gretsch's distinctive styling and traditional hollow-body design, the G2420 has a classic appearance that stands apart from more conventional solid-body electric guitars.

Overall, the Gretsch G2420 Streamliner Hollow Body is an excellent option for players wanting a versatile hollow-body electric with a distinctive look, resonant construction and a broad tonal palette. Whether used for clean chord work, bluesy lead playing, rockabilly rhythms or driven rock tones, the G2420 offers plenty of character and is a particularly appealing choice for anyone looking to add a classic hollow-body sound to their collection.
