The Gretsch G9221 Bobtail Steel Round-Neck A.E. brings together cutting-edge design and traditional craftsmanship to create a resonator guitar that stands apart from the crowd. This innovative instrument features an all-steel body construction paired with Gretsch’s acclaimed Ampli-Sonic™ “Spider” cone diaphragm, which is spun from 99 per cent pure aluminium for exceptional tonal clarity.
The combination of steel body and aluminium cone creates a distinctive tonal signature that cuts through any mix while maintaining the sweet, resonant qualities that make resonator guitars so appealing. Quality appointments include a round mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard that provide comfortable playability, while Grover® Sta-Tite™ machine heads ensure reliable tuning stability.
For modern performance needs, the Bobtail Steel comes equipped with a Fishman® Nashville pickup system, allowing you to amplify your sound without compromising the instrument’s natural acoustic character. This thoughtful integration of traditional resonator design with contemporary electronics makes it an ideal choice for both studio work and live performance.
