Description
Gretsch revives a 1950s favorite with the G9300 New Yorker Standard, an A-style mandolin from the Roots Collection built for players who want vintage looks paired with genuinely usable tone. The solid spruce top pairs with laminated mahogany back and sides to deliver a full, rounded voice with plenty of projection through the carved “F” holes, while tone bar bracing keeps the response even across the range.
The mahogany neck carries a vintage “U” profile that fills the hand comfortably, topped with a rosewood fingerboard and pearloid dot inlays across 20 frets (12 joining the body). A 13 7/8″ scale and 1 1/16″ nut width keep the playing feel familiar to guitarists making the jump to mandolin, and a double-action truss rod adjustable at the headstock makes setup straightforward.
Vintage details carry through the hardware: a rosewood bridge with compensated saddle, Grover Sta-Tite tuning machines, and the classic clamshell tailpiece, all finished in nickel. The aged white body binding and faux tortoiseshell pickguard complete the look, wrapped in an antique semi-gloss 2-color sunburst finish that nods directly to the New Yorker’s original era.
