MAHOGANY BODY WITH BOUND CARVED TOP, SCULPTED BODY CONTOURS AND ROUNDED HEEL
At the heart of each Streamliner Jet is a mahogany body that delivers rich, present mid-range with big lows and shimmering musical highs. Comfort contours create a balanced ergonomic fit that doesn't feel boxy or cumbersome, for effortless playability and enhanced comfort. A bound, carved top adds a touch of sophistication and class to complete the package.
MAHOGANY NECK WITH FAST “C” NECK PROFILE
We’ve crafted a faster, shallower, rounded "C" profile with tapered shoulders that is comfortable for all players but especially easier to navigate for beginners and players with small hands. Mahogany construction lays a perfect foundation for bold and powerful tone.
PITCH-PERFECT™ HEAD ANGLE AND GRAPHTECH NUBONE NUT FOR SUPERIOR TUNING STABILITY
Our Pitch-Perfect head angle keeps the guitar in tune by reducing string tension and solves the problem of strings sticking or slipping. A GraphTech NuBone nut delivers consistent and balanced tone, enhanced resonance and sustain, and superior playability. These features create rock-solid stable tuning that will power your longest and most aggressive performances without missing a beat.
HOTWIRE™ HIGH-OUTPUT CERAMIC HUMBUCKERS
HotWire™ humbuckers pair modern power with vintage mojo for bigger, bolder tones that excel at both brilliant cleans and atomic overdrive. Ceramic magnets are paired with high-output matched coils in the bridge position and high-output hybrid coils in the neck, delivering unbridled power with amazing clarity and potent versatility. Vacuum wax-potting keeps noise and interference to a minimum.
GREAT GRETSCH COLORS AND SPLIT-V HEADSTOCK
A dazzling array of new colors and distinctive Split-V Headstock place the Jet Club at the top of the pack for style points. The Gretsch Streamliner Jet is unquestionably attractive, with timeless Gretsch style and quintessential rock n roll swagger.
