Whether you play chunk rhythm, fingerstyle, bottleneck or anything else, the all-mahogany Gretsch G9240 Alligator Biscuit Roundneck resonator guitar projects its distinctively swampy tone all the way to the back door of any room. Like all fine Gretsch resonator guitars, the vital feature of the G9240 is the Gretsch “Ampli-Sonic™” diaphragm (resonator cone). Hand-spun in Eastern Europe from nearly 99-percent pure aluminum, the Ampli-Sonic diaphragm yields an impressive quality and volume of tone.
