Traditional banjo styling and tone
Gretsch started building banjos over 120 years ago. Needless to say, they know a thing or two about making them. The Gretsch G9450 Dixie open-back banjo combines that extensive knowledge with modern production techniques to build a great banjo. You'll love the open-back tones, vintage looks, and the great feel of a classic 5-string open-back banjo.

Open-back banjo design for mellow tone
Open-back banjos not only look different from their resonator-backed brothers, but they have a different sound and feel. The Gretsch G9450 Dixie open-back banjo has a mellow tone, great for old-time and clawhammer music styles. Resonator banjos can be quite heavy and bulky. If you're looking for a lighter model, the G9450 Dixie is a perfect choice.

This traditional acoustic instrument celebrates Gretsch's roots in American music
Part of their Roots collection, the Gretsch G9450 Dixie open-back banjo gives you a chance to own one of Gretsch's earliest instruments. Everyone knows Gretsch electric guitars and drums, but did you know that they got their start in 1883 as a banjo company? It wasn't long before Gretsch was making mandolins, ukuleles, and eventually flat-top guitars, contributing to the very roots of American music. So when you pick up a Gretsch G9450 Dixie, you're holding more than a great banjo, you're holding a piece of American music history.
