Arched Hollow Maple Body
The G2420T Streamliner Hollow Body Single-Cut with Bigsby® features a fully hollow arched maple body with parallel tone bars for rich fullness, deep resonance, and a "kick drum" sound.
New Broad'Tron BT-3S Pickups
The G2420T is equipped with our new Broad'Tron BT-3S pickups. Using a combination of Alnico 5 and Alnico 2 magnets, the new BT-3S pickups deliver stronger mids, tight yet full lows, and clear, smooth highs that maintain a soft 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, master tone control, master volume control, and three-way pickup selector switch.
The addition of a push/pull pot on the master volume control allows coil splitting for useful single-coil sounds, adding a new layer of tonal versatility to an already powerful sonic arsenal.
