The body of the G9241 Alligator 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 Medium "V" profile mahogany neck is an exotic padauk fingerboard fitted with twenty Medium Jumbo frets. Orientation on its surface is facilitated by pearl position dots.
Sound pickup is handled by the Fishman Nashville Resophonic system, which is specially developed for this type of instrument. The strings are mounted in Grover tuning machines, Biscuit maple fingerboard with ebony/maple saddle and Weathered Trapeze Tailpiece. The stylish look is accentuated by the 2-Color Sunburst finish, semi-gloss lacquer body and neck finish, and nickel 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.
