The budget hollowbody to beat is back with upgraded pickups

Michael Astley-Brown
Gretsch G2420 Streamliner Hollow Body

Gretsch’s 2016 Streamliner series changed the budget guitar game. Here was a line of hollow body guitars that not only possessed the look and feel of the company’s higher-priced offerings but also offered no signifier of their affordable pedigree. The series’ 2019 relaunch builds on that success with a number of tweaks, namely new finishes, a switch from rosewood to Laurel for the fingerboard, and the addition of all-new Broad’Tron BT-2S humbuckers. In for review is the G2420, the range’s fully hollow body with a gorgeous Chromatic II stairstep-esque tailpiece (a Bigsby option is also available for £485).
