Constructing the Gretsch Alligator
Gretsch’s G9241 Alligator has a Mahogany body which houses an Ampli-Sonic cone which has been hand spun in Eastern Europe from 99% pure aluminium. The resulting sound is that classic, sharp tone of a single-cone resonator.
Its Mahogany neck will please vintage aficionados with its V shape profile along with its 1930s headstock featuring a period accurate old style Gretsch logo.
A classic Rosewood fretboard has been used and it features an extremely playable 15.75” (400mm) radius with 19 medium jumbo frets, with the neck joining the body at the 12th fret.
Aged black and white neck and body binding protect the resonator guitar, adding some extra visual flair while Abalone dot position inlays adorn the Rosewood fingerboard.
Great Sound from Quality Construction
The Mahogany top has a beautiful and timeless two-colour sunburst finish. While many guitarists usually prefer a solid top, the use of a laminated Mahogany top in the G9241 was definitely the right choice as it forms a sturdy, steady base for the resonator to work its magic.
Ornately cut out, the Ampli-Sonic resonator looks fantastic itself and is joined on the body by twin f-holes, adding that beautiful, classic look while aiding in sound creation and projection.
On the 1930s inspired headstock, you’ll find Grover Sta-Tite die-cast tuning machines which provide extremely precise and secure tuning while the bone nut maintains perfect string alignment and tension as well as aiding a natural sound and sustain.
Bring Blues Home
Fitted with a Fishman Nashville pickup, which is designed to work well with a modern signal chain, the Gretsch G9241 Alligator sounds great whether you’re playing acoustically or plugged in.
With over 130 years of guitar building experience, when Gretsch pays tribute to their roots with incredible guitars like the G9241 Alligator from the Gretsch Roots Collection it is done so amazingly well.
Bring home that classic Delta blues sound or enjoy a beautifully authentic folk sound and period-accurate 1930s style with the Gretsch G9241 Alligator Resonator Guitar.
