Gretsch G9241 Alligator Biscuit Round-Neck Chieftain Red
Product no: 9000-0026-3384 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

The Gretsch G9241 Alligator Biscuit Round-Neck is a resonator guitar from the Roots Collection with a Chieftain Red finish. The mahogany body produces a warm, solid sound that mixes with the Ampli-Sonic resonator cone giving you distinctive, swampy tones. The cone is Gretsch's own design and made of 99% pure aluminium for an impressive sound with plenty of volume.

Alligator Biscuit

The neck has a rounded, medium V profile which means that the Alligator Biscuit can be used as a standard guitar or as a steel lap guitar. No matter whether this is your first resonator or you've been playing them for years, this model is easy to get to grips with. Despite the impressive volume it's capable of, the ability to amplify it can come in handy too which is why it's equipped with a Fishman pickup.

Resonator guitars

The resonator guitar was invented before the electric guitar and was designed specifically to produce more volume than standard acoustic guitars were capable of so that they could be heard when playing alongside orchestras. The metal resonator cone picks up the string vibrations via the bridge and itself begins to vibrate which produces the distinctive resonator sound. The fact that it sounds different from standard acoustic guitars is what has kept it alive today, long after the invention of electric guitars solved the problem of them not being loud enough.

Gretsch Introduces the Vintage Select and Player Editions

Friday 29 January 2016

Gretsch fans can roughly be divided into two groups. On the one hand you have the purists who think the specifications from the 1950s and 1960s - the Gretsch heydays - are beyond dispute. On the other hand, you have the more practically minded guitarists who like to make modifications to their instruments. Luckily, both camps are being catered to with Gretsch's new series: the Vintage Select Editions and the Players Editions. Go for a modern classic like the G6118T-SGR or travel back in time to 1962 with the Gretsch G6119T-62GE!
