The Gretsch Streamliner CVT is a solid-body, double-cutaway electric guitar that combines a classic retro-inspired aesthetic with straightforward, comfortable construction geared toward rock. Its mahogany body features beveled contours and a rounded heel that facilitate access to the upper frets, while the mahogany neck with a Fast “C” profile provides a fast, manageable feel.
Its two Gretsch HotWire High Output Ceramic Humbucker pickups deliver a powerful, defined signal with the punch needed for riffs, distorted chords, and solos with presence. The compensated Wrap-Around bridge, Graph Tech NuBone nut, and Pitch-Perfect headstock angle design contribute to a responsive tone, good sustain, and stable tuning.

Our Opinion
This new Streamliner CVT strikes us as an excellent choice for players looking to step into Gretsch with a more direct, rock-oriented instrument than their traditional hollow body models. It features a simple setup, is comfortable to play, and its pickups deliver enough output for distortion without the sound becoming dull or unfocused.
We would especially recommend it as a first serious guitar, a practice instrument, or for those needing an electric guitar suited for rock, punk, garage, and alternative styles. It’s not designed to replicate the open, distinctive sound of classic Filter’Tron pickups; instead, the focus is on delivering more punch, sustain, and ease of working with overdrive and distortion.
