Streamliner: designs
Within the Streamliner Collection, solid bodies, hollow bodies and center block models (semi-hollow) are offered in the body shapes Double Cut, Single Cut and Jr. The focus when designing the instruments is on feedback-free, high- gain-friendly performance, even on loud stages. Especially for hollow and semi-hollow models, the body design has been carefully thought out and continually improved over the years to ensure feedback-free performance.
Streamliner: Tonewoods
When selecting the woods, emphasis was placed on good sound properties and low weight , which improves performance when standing. Nato is usually used for necks and bodies of Solibodys, while laminated maple wood is used for guitars with a hollow body. On the necks with a modern, comfortable Soft “C” profile, laurel fingerboards with a flat 12” radius form the perfect basis for fast riffs and hot solos.
Streamliner: pickup
Gretsch designed the Gretsch Broad'Tron™ BT-3S humbuckers specifically for the Streamliner Collection and launched them on the market in 2023. These pickup are installed on most instruments in the series and deliver a modern, high-energy tone with powerful bass, clear highs and a crisp midrange. Some models also use FideliSonic P-90s, which deliver a more defined tone with a less hot output .
Streamliner: equipment and finishes
The intuitive controls layout consists of a master volume controls with treble bleed circuit, a master tone controls, separate pickup volume controls and a 3-way pickup toggle switch. Other characteristic features include Adjusto-Matic- bridge saddles made of synthetic bone. Models with a “T” in the designation also have a Bigsby vibrato.
