Experience the captivating blend of tradition and innovation with the Gretsch G9220 Bobtail Resonator. Crafted for the discerning musician, this acoustic-electric guitar is a tribute to the rich heritage of resonator guitars, yet it stands out with its own modern flair. The all-mahogany body delivers a warm, resonant tone that resonates with the soulful sounds of blues, country, and folk.

The G9220 Bobtail is not just about acoustics; it's equipped with a Fishman Nashville pickup, allowing you to amplify your performance without losing the instrument's natural warmth and clarity. Whether you are strumming chords or exploring slide techniques, the padauk fingerboard with its abalone dot inlays provides a smooth, responsive playing experience. Completing this stunning package are the Grover Sta-Tite tuning machines, which ensure your guitar remains perfectly in tune, no matter how intense the performance.
