Description
The G9220 Bobtail brings Gretsch’s resonator heritage into a round-neck design, letting you play it upright like a standard acoustic rather than lap-style, which makes it an easy entry point for guitarists moving from six-string flat-tops into blues and roots slide playing.
At the core of its tone is the Gretsch Ampli-Sonic diaphragm, the resonator cone found across every Gretsch resonator model. It’s hand-spun in Eastern Europe from nearly 99% pure aluminium, a detail that matters because the cone is doing the real acoustic work here, projecting a bright, cutting tone with plenty of natural volume before you even plug in.
Speaking of plugging in, the Bobtail comes fitted with a Fishman Nashville pickup, giving it a direct line to your amp or PA without sacrificing the resonator’s characteristic snap and shimmer. That combination of deluxe cosmetic appointments and stage-ready electronics makes this a guitar equally at home on a porch or under lights.
- Round-neck design for standard playing posture
- Gretsch Ampli-Sonic resonator cone, hand-spun from ~99% pure aluminium

If you want the metallic bite and volume of a resonator without relearning your playing stance, the Bobtail Round-Neck delivers that classic sound in a familiar format.
