The body of the G9230 Bobtail is made of laminated mahogany. The essential element of all Gretsch resonators, the Ampli-Sonic aluminium resonator itself, gives the guitars impressive sound quality and volume. Glued to the mahogany neck with Squareneck profile is an exotic padauk fingerboard fitted with nineteen Medium Jumbo frets. Orientation on its surface is facilitated by white position dots.
The sound pickup is taken care of by the Fishman Nashville Resophonic system, which is specially developed for this type of instruments. The strings are mounted in Grover tuning machines, a Spider-type fingerboard and a Weathered Trapeze Tailpiece. The stylish look is accentuated by the 2-Color Sunburst finish, semi-gloss lacquer body and neck finish and chrome hardware.
Now all that's left to do is leave work and jump on the first train, accompanied by a resonator whose sound tells stories like raindrops falling on the roof of station buildings.
