New and fully acoustic Gretsch resonator hits the market. It is affordable, made to last and give a lot of fun to the players.
Gretsch is one of true greats when it comes to history and influence on the guitar world. Their mostly vintage-styled creations rank among the most beautiful and best sounding stringed instruments of today. In recent decades, Gretsch was heavily concentrated on the development of the electric guitar section and some of the most amazing six-stringers ever have been created and produced in that period. Recent years saw a shift in brand`s focus, as acoustics and folk instruments started regaining popularity among the players. Gretsch rides on that wave with a multitude of new models and series. One of the brightest examples is the highly acclaimed Roots Collection, which deals with folk instruments. 25 models have thus far been introduced into this series and the G9210 BoxCar Square Neck is the latest entry. This intermediate resonator guitar offers all of the playability and build quality of the upscale models, but cuts on the decorations and non-essential things.
Gretsch G9210 BoxCar Square Neck belongs to the aforementioned Roots Collection. This particular resonator is a non-cutaway model with traditional design and construction. It is made of laminated mahogany and 99% pure aluminum. Back, side and the top of the body are made of the laminated mahogany, while the neck is made of solid wood. Cone on the top is made of aluminum produced in eastern Europe. Bridge installed on it is made of maple and has ebony tip. There are no electronics installed on this model, as Gretsch went for the fully acoustic feel and tone on this one. Mahogany neck is set in and it sports the vintage square contour in the back. top is covered with a 19-fret fingerboard. The MSRP is set at $599.
