Design and Playability
Mahogany Body with Bound Carved Top
At the heart of the Streamliner Jet is a mahogany body that delivers rich, present mid range, powerful low end, and clear, musical highs. Sculpted comfort contours and a belly cut ensure a balanced, ergonomic feel that sits naturally against the body, while the rounded heel allows easy access to higher frets. The bound carved top adds a touch of classic Gretsch elegance.
Mahogany Neck with Fast C Profile
The mahogany neck features a fast, shallow C profile with tapered shoulders, making it comfortable for all players and especially approachable for beginners or those with smaller hands. This profile supports quick movement up and down the neck while maintaining a solid, confident feel.
Hardware and Tuning Stability
Pitch Perfect Head Angle and GraphTech NuBone Nut
The Pitch Perfect head angle reduces string tension and minimises friction, helping prevent strings from sticking or slipping. Paired with a GraphTech NuBone nut, this design enhances sustain, resonance, and tuning stability, ensuring reliable performance even during aggressive playing.
Pickups and Electronics
HotWire High Output Ceramic Humbuckers
HotWire humbuckers combine modern power with vintage inspired character. Ceramic magnets and high output coil designs deliver bold, punchy tones with excellent clarity, whether playing clean passages or driving an amp into overdrive. Vacuum wax potting keeps unwanted noise to a minimum, making them ideal for high gain settings.
The simple control layout of master volume, master tone, and three way selector switch makes it easy to dial in usable sounds quickly, whether on stage or in the studio.
Style and Identity
Finished in classic Gretsch colours and topped with the distinctive Split V headstock, the Streamliner Jet delivers unmistakable visual appeal. It combines timeless Gretsch style with unmistakable rock and roll swagger, making it as striking to look at as it is to play.
