Gretsch G9201 Honey Dipper Round-Neck, Brass Body Biscuit Cone Resonator Guitar, Shed Roof Finish TGF33

One strum of the Honey Dipper Round-Neck Resonator Guitar transports you back 80 years to a hobo jungle just off the tracks, where wandering workers congregate in camaraderie and the comforting and captivating strains of a real all-metal resonator guitar waft through the smoke of oil-drum fires and enchant the ears with a sound like raindrops beating on a rusty pump house roof. The very sound and look of this fine Gretsch® creation will make you want to free yourself from the damning confines of your office, your cubicle or whatever it is that enslaves you and hop the next train to anywhere with a smile on your face as big as the sky and a song in your heart.

 

The Gretsch® G9201 Honey Dipper™ Round-Neck Resonator is a vintage-inspired bell brass guitar that transports players back to the golden age of roots music. Its Weathered "Pump House Roof" finish evokes a bygone era of hobos and railroad adventures, while the all-metal bell brass body delivers the classic resonator tone prized for its bright, punchy sound and exceptional projection.

 

At the heart of this resonator is the Gretsch Ampli-Sonic™ Biscuit Resonator Cone and Bridge, crafted from 99% pure aluminum for superior resonance and clarity. The medium "V"-shaped mahogany neck and Padauk fingerboard provide a comfortable playing experience, ideal for slide playing and fingerpicking styles. The Poinsettia design cover-plate adds a touch of vintage charm, while the Weathered Trapeze Tailpiece and Grover® Sta-Tite™ die-cast tuners ensure tuning stability and reliable performance.

 

Perfect for both traditional blues and modern roots music, the Honey Dipper™ offers a timeless sound and aesthetic, making it a must-have for resonator enthusiasts.
