2021 Gretsch Streamliner Collection - Their Greatest Value for Money Guitar Yet?

[@jeg1972]

In this world of everything looking like Teles or Strats or Les Pauls... Gretsch still do things just that little bit differently... I really like them.

[@derfgerps4016]

Same such great guitars when I first heard Pj Harvey’s demos of her using her Gretsch for Songs like “Big exit” and I thought it sounded like a tele if it were a massive blimp floating in the sky such a huge but bell like tone.

[@lucymoody4927]

Well said.

[@johncollins5552]

It's insane how good these Chinese made? Gretsch streamline guitars sound and look, pretty much better than any 🎸 under 3000 bucks!

[@Jeymez]

@@KevinJDildonik Gretsch is made in Japan, it's there affordable range Streamliner series is made in China, but Japan oversees the production there. the reason for the quality is because they give them the parts they want in it, but by making it in China they can keep the price down. Streamliner series has gotten more pricey in recent years, but they'd be even more pricey if they were made in Japan which is where the rest of Gretsch is made. from the up level Electromatic range to the Players Edition, there made in Japan.

[@shanemtressler]

Some are made in China and some are made in Indonesia

[@2ndEditionBryce]

I really REALLY don't need a new guitar but all these Gretsch videos are giving me that itch. Gretsch made a damn good choice having you guys do a Gretsch day.

[@ranchmanager9126]

I bought the Streamliner G2622-P90 and it is a great guitar. The fretboard is perfect, the look is amazing, the sound is amazing and it's become one of my favorites to play. I pulled off the scratch plate and upgraded to locking tuners but you don't need to. You get WAY more guitar here than the price suggests.

[@Simbetam]

You just wouldnt know by looks or sounds that these are part of the streamliner series. Its nice that gretsch try to make the best looking guitars for their price unlike many other companies who hold back so people pay more for a higher priced model.

[@olavjorvik94]

That’s why I love them so much! I feel they do exactly that; try their best at every price range!😊 Streamliner is amazing, Electromatic is amazing, and the Japan / USA is obviously. Love all of them!😊

[@Anjohl]

One thing I like about Gretsch is that there's no "Squier". A Gretsch is a Gretsch. They don't make you accept a different headstock, or a different name on that headstock at the cheaper levels. All Gretsch's are Gretschs, and it's damn refreshing.

[@jimleininger8963]

Congrats on tackling that opening blues-rock-jazz-EDM-ambient coffee house avant-garde tune

[@thedondeluxe6941]

Wow, those P-90s sound amazing! I have the first gen Streamliner hollowbody, and I'm still super happy with that one. Insane value for money.

[@Nessiechomp]

That opening jam was just absolutely gorgeous! Keep it up!

[@JareddarArt]

Lee and Pete play so well together. Lee has grown a lot since AT TV began and this was no exception. Such smooth riffage. As usual Pete knocked it out of the park on just gorgeous guitars.

[@josephduchene5849]

I played one of these today on a whim when testing a Strat. If you're a budget shopper, I don't see how you beat these. Incredible sound, feel & look high quality. They put the money in the right places, and must have a good factory.

[@benoitgiroux8964]

I got a Streamliner last year. It’s clearly the best value for money guitar that I own. No contest

[@bciecko1]

These made it to the US a short bit ago. The 2655T P90 in Mint Metallic is on it way to my house. Super pumped.

[@SandboxBullies]

That Great Gretsch Sound. Happy to be part of the Gretsch Family

[@thebigjakekinard]

The hollowbody at the end sounded brilliant.

[@kingstumble]

My preference is for darker sounding guitars. First thing I do with any guitar is turn the tone control down so these fit the bill perfectly.

[@Mark_Ocain]

The "p90" style pickups in these have loads of character...not bad for the bucks!!

[@LeadersandLunatics]

Danish Pete you smooth criminal you. Playing that guitar beautifully

I own the one Lee is playing. GREAT guitar. For the money it's a no brainer. Cause it's a unique design, looks cool and sounds GREAT.

[@steeveaddkins3755]

Bought one today, gave my squire away, and very excited to own a guitar that holds tune, sounds, and looks great!

[@konjunto2477]

Not sure if anyone else caught it, but the Gretsch at 3:55 is a G2410TG not a G2420T. They come in 3 different colors with gold hardware.

[@iaint1873]

Thanks for the confirmation these are definitely staple p90 The 2655 in midnight with the bigsby has been calling to me. For other people - the solid colours have stained back and sides, looks very good

[@johncollins5552]

Often the colours that don't show well on screen or understage lights like gunmetal grey or black and that whiskey finish look stunning in person, just bear that in mind too!

[@musicman55ization]

As Chuck Berry sings...all I want for Christmas is a ROCKIN ROLL LECTRIC GUITAR...I just ordered a Gretsch G2655T hollow body in Siver grey....Can't wait ..!!!

[@musicman55ization]

You will love it....I got one 6 months ago...very smooth....clear sound...well made.!!! Enjoy...that GRETSCH SOUND.!!!

[@robinjgill]

Great video guys. All those reference numbers (G2622-P90,G2410TG )? Why can't they just call them Bob or Janice?

[@SpecialReserve]

I really prefer these to the more expensive ones you demo'ed. To me they are better looking and sounding, great job Gretsch.

[@clemdewitt4522]

Hello from Arizona. Thanks guys, I think you might have settled my mind on my next guitar...the G2655 P90 Jr.

[@fredstevens799]

Clem, if you haven't got it yet, look at the G2657T Streamliner Jr. with "broad'tron" pups (!) and Bigsby - GC has them on sale now (till 5/5/21) at an INSANE price! - just picked up a candy-apple red (metallic!) and am totally stoked! Needed a setup but is totally dialed in now and a great player! - heads up - it is advertised with "locking tuners" but they are standard non-locking rotomatic style.

[@clemdewitt4522]

@@fredstevens799 Had that model...sold it and regret having done so....

[@sethglenn9022]

Lee is doing so good with his playing. Keep up the good work Cap.

[@FransvandenBergeMuziekschuur]

These pickups will record well. Great sounds. Best pickups for 2021 I’d say! Could you do ‘best NEW pickups (on production guitars) in 2021 ? I’d love that!

[@MusikMagisterMagnus]

Feel like I'm coming full circle. I found this channel when looking for videos of Streamliners and Electromatics, to decide which to buy for my 30th birthday. Guess I have Gretsch to thank both for the love of my life (Hollowbody Electromatic) and finding some of the best content on KZbin!

[@cavemanzach9475]

Was looking at the 2655 on gretsch's website. Definitely sold on it (albeit in surf green)

[@jbourke33]

This was the first time I’ve heard about the staple pole pieces being magnetized - is that right? Seems pretty different from a P-90 then.

[@jeremybraunscheidel6075]

Just got this model but with the Bigsby today, highly recommend!

[@fusionfan6883]

Oh man Pete please tell me what your signal chain was on the opening jam - sounds so lush - what pedals were you using?

[@barbmelle3136]

From Leo: I have two Streamliners and they are a joy to play. The "staple pole" P-90 sounds wonderful. People talk trash against the Humbuckers on the G2420, but Pete has no trouble getting great tones from them, I never found them lacking. Gretsch was a guitar with their own flavor that all but died, and they have come back better than ever. I think a G2622 with P-90's needs to be at my house soon.

[@aniquinstark4347]

Can anyone tell me if the center block jr has neck dive or not? I don't have a store near me to try one and I've always bene skeptical of guitars with the strap button on the back of the neck heel like an SG.

[@ryan8779]

Just occurred to me after years of watching these videos that I buy everything Pete plays.

[@Jonathan01ukk]

I think Anderson's will sell loads of the G2410TG after that playing of Pete's :-)

[@johnwelch557]

I thought Danish Pete was taking a whizz on the wood floor early in the ontro....🤪 Great intro play fellas. Another cut for your album! I'm reminded of Duane Eddie when he played Gretsch.... Thanks!

[@stephanematis]

Have an upvote before the video starts. I have faith :D

[@beskidwood]

I love your reviews! Ps. Better late than never: you have new subscriber. Pps. Due to history Gretsch was first with their coil, but Gibson crew were first with patent. So it was p90 that got the fame. So now I feel kind of empathy for Gretsch crew, as they put down their ego and put p90 into this model.

[@laivasimo8427]

These look great! By the way, i really think we could use some PRS content on this channel soon. Been a long time since i last time realized i still can not afford a custom 24.

[@denismguitar1552]

Save up for an S2. They are fantastic and someone makes a living wage to make it.

Hey guys love your content, but just curious what is that timer behind your head on the Freedman amp or whatever that is you get back there what is that timer please

[@thebrysmith3]

It's not a timer. It's a sound meter that shows the decibel level in the room. Notice how the numbers go higher when they play..or talk over each other?

[@BackToTheBlues]

I think the BT on that last guitar stands fro Broad'Trons, because that's what those pickups are. To me, it's an act of cruelty to a semi-acoustic not to put binding on the f-holes. Then again, I know they've done it on cost, and you can pay a lot more for a Gibson 335 and you won't get bound f-holes on that either!

[@ftlbaby]

My first guess is decibel meter....

[@killerdude35]

The hollowbody that you played last is actually a G2410, not a G2420. The only difference between the two as far as I can tell is the 2410 is 1/2" thinner than the 2420 and has gold hardware instead of chrome. Yet for some strange reason the list price is 100.00 more. I dont see how a thinner body and gold hardware justifies the price difference.

[@elsienova4269]

@@denismguitar1552 okay let me just educate you. First of all, Gretsch Elegtromatic and Streamliner models are built in Korea in small factories similar to american guitar building companies. Not dirt poor 1920s style factories that you imagine. Second of all that labour actually doesn't exist in much of the guitar making market. Squier is made in Indonesia in high quality factories, Epiphone is made in both Indonesia and china and the ones in china are part of a guitar building company with a lot of prestige in the country, etc. Oh and, your "amazing" american factories aren't that amazing. One of the reasons Gibson restructured in 2014 was because of claims that builders were underpayed, stressed by managers and treated poorly, claims which were also proclaimed by ex Fender workers. TL DR: The stereotype that stuff made in Asia is made by starving orphans is a racist myth and factories and American guitar building companies aren't exempt from having serious issues with these stuff.
