Gretsch G9240 Alligator Biscuit Roundneck Resonator, 2-Color Sunburst Overview

The Gretsch G9240 Alligator Resonator, Round Neck marks a return to the original resonator designs for Gretsch guitars, providing you with a loud acoustic instrument that perfectly accommodates genres such as Delta blues and ragtime. Thanks to its Gretsch Ampli-Sonic aluminium cone mounted to a warm sounding mahogany body, this model will deliver a loud and authentic resonator tone.

This model features the "Biscuit": a hard maple disc topped with a maple/ebony bridge saddle that transfers the vibrations from the strings to the cone ensuring even more resonance. This reissue of a 1930s design with a long-body construction and soft V-neck profile ensures that your performance experience is nothing but luxury. If you're looking for a professional resonator performance at an affordable price, the Alligator won't disappoint.

Gretsch roots collection

The G9240 Resonator comes from the Gretsch Roots collection, aiming to resurrect classic designs from the past and bring their unique tones to the modern stage. It is perfect for creating both metallic and loud tones that are ideal for genres like Delta blues. If you want to add a unique tonal addition to your collection, or simply explore the Delta-blues sound, this is the ideal instrument to let you do so.

More powerful than a locomotive

Equipped with a Gretsch Ampli-Sonic diaphragm resonator cone, hand-spun in Eastern Europe and crafted from pure aluminium, this model creates distinctive metallic overtones as well as the classic Delta-blues sound. It has been mounted to a mahogany body, a material chosen for its warmth and booming projection. This, on top of the katalox fingerboard, provides an additional sustain and dark resonance. If you're familiar with the Delta-blues sound, this guitar will allow you to recreate it in a powerful and authentic way.

Comfortable playing and traditional good looks

This model has been crafted with a round-back neck, topped with a V-neck profile. Thanks to this, it fits comfortably and naturally in the palm of your hand for luxurious playing experience. The mahogany has been further finished with a semi-gloss finish, allowing for smooth transitions along the neck. The perfection doesn't stop there though. The body has been sculpted with traditional f-holes and finished with a two-tone sunburst colour that allows the beauty of the mahogany to shine through. With its traditional design features, the G9240 Alligator wouldn't look out-of-place from many decades ago in the Mississippi delta and will give you authentic and powerful tones.
