Gretsch G9221 Bobtail Steel Round-Neck AE resonator guitar

General

This fabulous resonator guitar is the Gretsch G9321 Bobtail Steel Square-Neck A.E. This electro-acoustic model, which is almost identical to the Gretsch G9221 apart from the shape of its neck, is ideal for blues and bluegrass guitarists who like to play sitting down with their instrument on their lap. The strong square neck of this resonator guitar is well-equipped to take on the considerable string tension of certain open tunings.

The Ampli-Sonic cone of the G9231

One of the most important parts of a resonator guitar is its resonator cone, which ensures that the sound of the strings is projected in a way that carries quite far. Naturally, a high-quality instrument such as this G9321 Bobtail deserves a high-grade cone, which is provided in the shape of the Amplic-Sonic, a diaphragm designed by Gretsch and made of 99% aluminium. It produces a unique, sweet and loud sound, aided by the steel body of the instrument.

Amplification by means of a Fishman Nashville pickup

Although the resonator guitar was originally designed to produce a considerable volume on stage, a little amplification goes a long way. To that end, this Bobtail is fitted with a reliable Nashville pickup from the renowned brand Fishman, which accurately registers the sound of the strings, retaining the attractive, characteristic sound of the resonator. This G9321 Bobtail electro-acoustic square-neck resonator guitar complements its great sound with a stylish look.
