Gretsch G9220 Bobtail™ Round-Neck Resonator Guitar - 2-Color Sunburst

Classic Resonator Tone, Ready for the Stage

The Gretsch G9220 Bobtail Round-Neck Resonator delivers that unmistakable resonator voice—punchy, articulate, and full of character—while adding modern performance features for today’s players.

Finished in a vintage-inspired 2-Color Sunburst, this guitar feels right at home in blues, bluegrass, folk, and roots music.

Ampli-Sonic™ Resonator for Authentic Projection

At the heart of the G9220 is Gretsch’s Ampli-Sonic™ spider cone, hand-spun from nearly pure aluminum for maximum volume and tonal clarity.

• Spider-style resonator for traditional tone and response
• Strong projection with clear note separation
• Perfect for slide, fingerstyle, and roots playing

Plug In Without Losing Character

Equipped with a Fishman Nashville pickup, the G9220 translates its natural acoustic tone into a reliable amplified signal for live performance or recording.

• Fishman® Nashville Resophonic pickup system
• Clear, natural amplified tone
• Endpin jack for easy stage use

Vintage Feel and Comfortable Playability

The medium “V” neck profile and 1.75" nut width give you a traditional feel that works especially well for slide and fingerstyle techniques.

• Mahogany neck with medium “V” profile
• Padauk fingerboard with smooth feel
• 25” scale length for balanced tension

Classic Gretsch Style

From the poinsettia cover plate to the 1930s-style headstock, the G9220 captures vintage Gretsch aesthetics while staying practical for modern players.

• Nickel-plated cover plate with engraved design
• Weathered trapeze tailpiece
• Grover® Sta-Tite™ tuners for stable tuning
