Gretsch G2420 Streamliner Hollow Body Electric Guitar Claret Burst

Streamliner G2420 Hollow Body

The Gretsch G2420 Streamliner is a fully hollow electric guitar built with an arched maple body and parallel tone bars. It is designed for guitarists who want the deep resonance and broad dynamic range of a classic big-body instrument. The Claret Burst finish highlights the arched top while the Nato neck and laurel fingerboard complete the traditional feel. This model suits players looking for authentic hollowbody tone in a modern build.

Setup and common issues

The guitar arrives new and requires standard electric guitar setup: truss-rod adjustment, action height at the bridge, and intonation at the Chromatic II tailpiece. Floating bridges can shift during string changes, so mark the position before removing strings. The hollow construction makes the body more sensitive to humidity changes than solid guitars, so stable storage matters. Broad'Tron BT-3S pickups are height-adjustable; set them by ear to balance output between neck and bridge positions.

Broad'Tron BT-3S pickup blend

The decisive specification is the Broad'Tron BT-3S pickup set, which combines Alnico 5 and Alnico 2 magnets for stronger mids, tight lows, and smooth highs. This voicing targets players who need articulate cleans and defined overdrive without muddy low-end buildup. If your style demands high-output ceramic aggression or ultra-clean single-coil clarity, this pickup blend will not deliver those tones. The 2420 model number identifies this specific Streamliner configuration.
