Gretsch G9220 Bobtail Round-Neck A.E., Mahogany Body Spider Cone Resonator Guitar, Fishman Nashville Resonator Pickup, 2-Color Sunburst TGF33

Tone amplified! With its deluxe appointments and Fishman® Nashville pickup, the Bobtail Round-Neck stands out in the mix in more ways than one. The vital feature of all Gretsch® resonator guitars is the Gretsch Ampli-Sonic™ diaphragm (resonator cone), which is hand-spun in Eastern Europe from nearly 99 percent pure aluminium, yielding an impressive quality and volume of tone.

 

The Gretsch® G9220 Bobtail™ Round-Neck Resonator is a vintage-inspired resonator guitar designed to deliver rich, full-bodied tone for blues, country, and roots music. Part of the Roots Collection, it features a laminated mahogany body with a spider-style bridge and the Gretsch Ampli-Sonic™ Spider Resonator Cone and Bridge, hand-spun from nearly 99% pure aluminum for superior projection and tonal clarity.

 

Equipped with a Fishman® Nashville Series Resophonic Pickup, the G9220 Bobtail™ provides natural acoustic tone when amplified, making it perfect for both stage and studio performances. The medium "V" neck profile and Padauk fingerboard offer comfortable playability, ideal for slide playing and fingerpicking styles. The Nickel-Plated Poinsettia Design Cover-Plate and 1930s-style Gretsch® headstock add a touch of vintage charm, while the weathered trapeze tailpiece and Grover® Sta-Tite™ die-cast tuners ensure tuning stability and reliability.
