General

The Gretsch 'Dixie Special' G9455 is a member of the popular 5-string open-back banjo family, but stands out thanks to its relatively luxury characteristics, which are usually only found on much more expensive instruments. The banjo features a rolled brass tone ring and a Canadian hard maple neck.

The five-string G9455 Dixie Special

The Gretsch Dixie Special is equipped with the familiar fifth banjo string, which has its own tuner located halfway along the neck and ensures the characteristic drone sound that is particularly suitable for country and bluegrass music. A number of attractive details, including vintage B&D-style position markers and a pleasant Vega-style armrest, complete the great look of this G9455 5-string open-back banjo.
