The Streamliner™ CVT is a no-nonsense tone machine designed to deliver exceptional performance, easy playability and rock-solid tuning stability at an incredible value. Its HotWire™ humbuckers, Fast “C” neck profile, Pitch-Perfect™ head angle and compensated wraparound bridge provide everything needed for massive riffs and searing solos.
The mahogany body produces rich, present mid-range, big lows and shimmering musical highs. Beveled contours and a rounded heel create a balanced, ergonomic fit for enhanced comfort and effortless playability. The bolt-on mahogany neck features a fast, shallow and rounded “C” profile with tapered shoulders, offering comfortable navigation for all players, including beginners and players with smaller hands. The mahogany construction also provides a foundation for bold and powerful tone.
The Pitch-Perfect™ head angle reduces string tension to help prevent strings from sticking or slipping, contributing to superior tuning stability. A GraphTech® NuBone® nut provides consistent, balanced tone, enhanced resonance and sustain, and excellent playability. The bound laurel fingerboard has a 12" radius, pearloid Neo Classic™ thumbnail inlays and 22 medium jumbo frets. HotWire™ high-output ceramic humbuckers combine modern power with vintage character for brilliant cleans and powerful overdrive. High-output matched coils are used in the bridge position, while high-output hybrid coils serve the neck position, and vacuum wax-potting helps keep noise and interference to a minimum.
Master volume and master tone controls, a three-way toggle switch, a compensated wraparound bridge and a split-V headstock complete the design. Available in distinctive Gretsch colors, the Streamliner CVT features a high-gloss finish and timeless Gretsch style.
