Powerful and authentic resonator sound
A distinctive tone and punch that professional players demand. It achieves this using a resonator cone made from almost pure aluminium, which is known as the Ampli-Sonic diaphragm. This diaphragm has been carefully crafted to produce rich and full-bodied sonics that are both distinctive and memorable. What's more, it has the ability to produce a high volume of sound without sacrificing tonal quality. This is essential for resonator guitars, which are often used in genres such as blues, bluegrass, and country where volume and projection are important.
Additionally, the use of the Ampli-Sonic ensures that the guitar has a consistent and balanced tone across all strings. This makes it easier for you to execute complex techniques and produce a range of different sounds and effects. This guitar is sure to impress and inspire.
Built with durability for all performances
Exceptional sound and durability. The laminated mahogany body, combined with the vintage semi-gloss finish, not only looks fantastic but also offers excellent resistance to wear and tear. Additionally, the spider bridge design, featuring an ebony-tipped maple base, ensures precise intonation and stability, so you can always achieve the perfect tone.
If you're a fan of slide guitar playing, then the Gretsch G9210 Boxcar Resonator is the perfect choice for you. Featuring a square neck design, this guitar allows for comfortable and effortless use of a slide. This makes it an ideal option for blues, country, and slide guitar enthusiasts who want an instrument that is specifically tailored to their playing style. Also equipped is a mahogany neck finished in vintage semi-gloss, which offers a smooth and comfortable experience. With a 25" scale length and 19 medium jumbo frets, this resonator provides excellent string tension and response, giving you complete control over your performance.
Always sound pitch perfect
The G9210 is a guitar that is designed to offer exceptional reliability and stability. A standout is its Grover Sta-Tite die-cast tuning machines. These ensure precise and stable tuning, allowing you to play for long periods without worrying about constantly adjusting your strings. Coupled with the weathered trapeze tailpiece, this resonator guitar offers industry-leading tuning stability for a worry-free performance.
In addition to its reliable tuning, the Boxcar Resonator also exudes classic style and elegance. The nickel-plated poinsettia design cover plate, chrome hardware finish, and vintage end-pin strap buttons all contribute to the guitar's distinctive look. This makes it a great choice for musicians who want an instrument that looks as good as it sounds. What's more, the bracing enhances the tonal projection and overall resonance, resulting in a fuller and richer harmonic.
