Full Description

Designed for perfection

The G9220 Bobtail has been crafted with a round-back neck, paired with a soft V-neck profile, in order to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand. Topped with a semi-gloss finish, this resonator allows for smooth transitions along the neck. Its perfection doesn't stop at the neck though, it stretches down to the body as well. Designed with F-holes and traditional features, the G9220 wouldn't look out-of-place from many decades ago in the Mississippi delta, providing you with authentic and powerful tones.

Innovation at its core

This model comes designed with the Gretsch Ampli-Sonic "spider" cone diaphragm, which has been hand-spun in Eastern Europe from 99 percent pure aluminium. Thanks to this, you are provided with the resonator's distinct metallic overtones and delta-blues sound. Mounted to a mahogany body, this design is sure to impress your audience with a sweet quality of tone at cutting volumes. When combined with the mahogany neck and padauk fingerboard, you are provided with an additional sustain and dark resonance. If you're familiar with the delta-blues sound, this guitar will allow you to recreate it in a powerful and authentic way.

It offers clear and accurate tone which ensures the G9220 Bobtail is ready to handle modern signal chains, such as direct recording or stage performances.
