The body of the instrument is made of plywood and a solid spruce center block that reinforces the guitar's soundboard while eliminating (in the vast majority of cases) the unwanted feedback effect. Glued to the nato neck with a Thin "U" profile is a fig wood fingerboard fitted with twenty-two Medium Jumbo frets. Positioning blocks made of imitation mother-of-pearl facilitate orientation on its surface.
The secret to the Streamliner Series sound is the Broad'Tron BT-2S high output humbuckers specifically designed for this line of instruments. They give the guitars a balanced sound with robust bass, clean highs and punchy mids. Adjustments include two volume potentiometers (for each pickup separately), a tone shutter, a master volume control and a three-position pickup switch.
Precise tuning is guaranteed by the attachment of the strings via the artificial bone zero fret in the company's Die-Cast tuning machines and in the Adjusto-Matic headstock. A licensed Bigsby B70 tremolo adds subtle voicing effects to your playing. The classic eye-pleasing design of Gretsch guitars is accentuated by a number of stylish features - from the arched body construction with flared F holes for better acoustic projection, elegant binding with a subtle hint of patina (Aged White) and black and white pickguard, vintage-style potentiometers, nickel hardware to the three-layered imitation tortoiseshell pickguard.
