Rated 4 out of 5

Yes sir.

For the money spent, this is a fantastic guitar. It just seems impossible to make a guitar of this caliber and price it where they have it. That being said it's not a show piece type guitar. The hardware is a little on the light side and the pick-ups are a little on the muddy side for my taste, nut needs some work. That being said, all these things are things that can be and should be replaced to taste. The things that cannot be replaced, the craftsmanship, wood, finish, etc. are all great. I would buy this guitar again in a heartbeat.

Pretty darn good affordable hollowbody

The cheapest Gretsche is a very nice cheap guitar. Striker unplugged even makes a nice sound. The broadtron pickups can be sweet or dirty up easily. A nice combination of tones . the neck carve is full but not too big. Very nice for me. Out of the box, the action, set up, everything, was great. I have not tweaked a thing, and enjoy playing it daily. Maybe the best cheap hollow body I've ever tried.

By CHRISTOPHER B.

Plays looks sounds and feels terrific.

Big, bold and righteous, the G2420 Streamliner Hollow Body Single-Cut with Chromatic II is designed for the modern guitarist who yearns for something beyond the norm. A commanding guitar for powerful players, the G2420's modern sonics, updated electronics and authentically elegant style create the latest iteration of That Great Gretsch Sound!

The secret to the Streamliner's sound is a new offering from Gretsch-the Broad'Tron BT-2S humbucking pickup. Designed specifically for the Streamliner Collection, the high-output Broad'Tron pickup spawns improved definition with tighter bass response for robust lows, pristine highs and a throaty midrange. This 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.

A fast-playing 12"-radius laurel fingerboard with elegant pearloid Hump Block inlays and 22 medium jumbo frets sits atop the white-bound nato neck with a thin "U"-shaped profile-ideal for chord work or firing off speedy riffs. Enjoy rock-solid tuning stability courtesy of the stylish Gretsch Chromatic II tailpiece, Adjusto-Matic bridge with secured laurel base and synthetic bone nut.

All the classic eye-catching style you've come to expect from Gretsch is here-vintage-style black control knobs, enlarged F-holes for increased acoustic projection, elegant aged white binding with upgraded purfling, slick-looking nickel hardware, arched laminated maple construction and three-ply tortoise pickguard. Nearly impossible to put down once you pick it up and start playing, the G2420 is an astounding take on the authentic sound and classic style you've come to expect from Gretsch.
