Gretsch G9230 Squareneck Bobtail Deluxe A/E Resonator Guitar at a Glance:
  • Classic resonator tone
  • Beautifully appointed
  • Gretsch's legacy in American music

Classic resonator tone
The Gretsch G9230 Squareneck Bobtail deluxe resonator guitar is fitted with the company's Ampli-Sonic Eastern European hand-spun cone and bridge. This spider cone delivers serious volume and classic resonator tone. Put this baby on your lap, grab your bar and start playing - you won't want to stop. And with the G9230's onboard Fishman pickup, you're gig-ready, right from the get-go. When you're looking for different sonic colors for your musical palette, the Gretsch G9230 is a great choice.

Beautifully appointed
Gretsch's G9230 Squareneck Bobtail deluxe resonator guitar is seriously decked out with tasteful vintage appointments that would look right at home in the company's catalogs of yesteryear. With the G9230, you get a lovely mahogany top graced with a vintage-y semi-gloss natural finish that not only looks great - it enhances the instrument's tone. Another tasty vintage styling touch is the intricate design of the spider resonator itself. They just don't build 'em like this anymore. Oh, wait a minute - Gretsch does!

Gretsch's legacy in American music
The Gretsch G9230 Squareneck Bobtail deluxe resonator guitar transports you back to Gretsch's roots in American music. Everyone knows Gretsch electric guitars and drums, but did you know that 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 resonator, you're holding more than a great resonator, you're holding a piece of American music history.

I have to say it's the most personal order I've ever made from the pre-ship phone call, to the email, and finally the candy in the box. Thanks! I don't think I could beat the customer service even in a local shop

Great Guitar

For the price you can't beat this guitar. I bought this as a "bar guitar" to use for gigs where I need to be amplified and I don't want to take my expensive acoustics. I'm considering buying another o... read more [+]ne to use for a different tuning. This would also be a perfect starter guitar that you will still be able to use as you progress. close [-]

I needed a dobro with amplification, as I was getting lost in the electric guitars and drums in the Christian Praise band I have joined. The mikes and clip on pickup I was using were not doing the job... read more [+]. The Fishman pickup is doing the job for me now. This Dobro looks great and sounds fantastic. I really love the look of the headstock and the price of the instrument was very reasonable. Best of all was the service at Sweetwater, the best I have ever had. Thanks to Stewart and the rest of the pros at your store. I highly recomend this dobro and Sweetwater. close [-]
