Description
This is the phenomenal G9201 "Honey Dipper" Round-Neck resonator from the Gretsch Roots Series. The Roots Series resonator guitars are some of the best values we've seen in this genre. Their modest price belies their great tone and excellent playability. The "Honey Dipper" models features a genuine bell brass body and biscuit bridge which gives them a great punchy tone with a ton of projection and volume. The biscuit bridge sound is a little more “rounded” then the Spider Cone offering increased volume and dynamic range especially in the mid range frequencies. Players looking for the classic Delta Blues sound will generally go for a resonator with a biscuit bridge. We are a long standing fully authorized independent Gretsch guitar dealer. This is a brand new guitar and comes with the full Gretsch Limited lifetime factory warranty. Please give us a call if you have any questions about this guitar!
One strum of the Honey Dipper transports you back 80 years to a hobo jungle just off the tracks, where wandering workers congregate in camaraderie and where the comforting and captivating strains of a real all-metal resonator guitar waft through the smoke of oil-drum fires and enchant the ears with a sound like raindrops beating on a rusty pump house roof. The very sound and look of this fine Gretsch creation will make you want to free yourself of the damning confines of your office, your cubicle or whatever it is that enslaves you and hop the next train to anywhere with a smile on your face as big as the sky and a song in your heart. Optional gig bag available (#099-6481-000).
