    Yes the 2420 Streamliner case is exactly the same size as the Electromatic 5420 case.
    Only difference is chrome latches & silver Gretsch logo on the Streamliner case/Brass/gold latches & Gold logo on the Electromatic case.
    Here in the UK the 2420 case is £79 & the 5420 case is £130!!!!
    Same case different colour logo/latches!!!

    Why don't they offer it with a Bigsby, that's part of the allure imho. Sorry, off topic

    The Electromatic case is idd, a lot of extra money for what you get.

    I use that case for my 5420. Funny, the guy at the shop said because they sell the case separately, they had all the cases available. Why are all these people not getting the case when they buy their guitar?!

    The deal has collapsed. :(
    I offered to buy the case from Thomann and have it shipped to the seller, so he can send the guitar safely to me afterwards. :cool:
    I did not even try to negotiate the offered price, and of course I pay all shippings... :rolleyes:
    He quibbles and quibbles. o_Oo_Oo_O
    Am I a fool ? If so, I'm not aware... :p
    Forget about it, OK. :confused:
    Nevermind, thank you and good sale ! :D

    No matter : thank you Guys for your cases advices :) - Next time, maybe ? ;)

    A+!
