Description
The Gretsch G9230 Bobtail Square-Neck is built for players who live in open tunings and slide technique, offering a dedicated square-neck platform designed to sit flat across the lap rather than be fretted conventionally. At its core is the Gretsch Ampli-Sonic diaphragm, a resonator cone hand-spun in Eastern Europe from nearly 99 percent pure aluminium. That painstaking process isn’t just tradition for tradition’s sake — it directly shapes the guitar’s tone, giving it the kind of clarity, volume, and metallic sustain that resonators are prized for.
Beyond the cone itself, the Bobtail carries deluxe appointments that set it apart visually and functionally in the resonator world. Plugged in, the onboard Fishman Nashville pickup translates that acoustic bark into a signal that holds its own in a full band mix or through a PA, so you’re not limited to just miking up the cone in quieter settings.
