## Overview

The Gretsch G9220 Bobtail Roundneck is a premium acoustic-electric resonator guitar featuring a rich mahogany body and neck, a hand-spun aluminum resonator cone for authentic vintage tone, and a smooth padauk fingerboard with abalone inlays. Equipped with a Fishman Nashville piezo pickup, it offers both classic acoustic resonance and amplified versatility, perfect for blues, folk, and slide guitar enthusiasts seeking a distinctive sound and style.

## Description

Classic Roundneck Resonator from Gretsch First developed in the pre-amplified 1920s to accompany the much-louder horn instruments in popular ensembles of the time, resonator guitars are truly a uniquely American innovation. The Gretsch G9220 Bobtail Roundneck Mahogany Resonator stays true to the design and features of these early resonators with an all-mahogany body and Gretsch Ampli-Sonic diaphragm resonator spider cone. This aluminum cone is hand-spun in Eastern Europe and kicks out an impressive level of volume and mesmerizing resonant midrange. A gorgeous padauk fingerboard with abalone dot inlays responds beautifully whether you are playing chords or using a slide. The G9220 lets you explore the styles of old country, blues, and early folk as well as whatever sonic innovations you envision. A Fishman Nashville pickup is also onboard for when you want to plug in and really bring the volume and style. Resonator players at Sweetwater love the G9220 Bobtail

Review: Really cool guitar - My first resonator and it’s even more beautiful than in the pictures. Amazing sound as an acoustic and the pickup sounds great when you plug in. Of course, playing with a slide (which is a new thing for me) is incredible. Overall a great sounding and looking guitar at a reasonable price.
Review: Acoustic good amplified not good - This resonator guitar is very beautiful especially the fretboard. It sounds really great acoustic, unfortunately plugged in the piezo pickup doesn't seem to amplify the distinct resonator sound. It sounds more like a regular acoustic electric guitar. It sounds fine for that, but you don't get the good resonator tones amplified.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Left handed version ?**
A: They don’t make a left handed version but this is very easy to convert to left handed. Bring it to a competent guitar tech for a new nut and bridge lefty conversion

**Q: Is it a tricone ?**
A: No, it is a single spider cone.  It is, however, a lot of fun.

**Q: Acoustic  or electric amp, or either?**
A: It is not electric. I have been playing for 50 years, Martin, Collings, and this guitar is absolutely awesome! Hope that helps.

**Q: Are the photos of the actual guitar you have for sale?**
A: Yes, it is a nice dark finish with a slight sunburst.  The picture on Amazon appears a little darker than the guitar in person.  The Boxcar model does not have the darker finish (or the electronic pickup).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really cool guitar

My first resonator and it’s even more beautiful than in the pictures. Amazing sound as an acoustic and the pickup sounds great when you plug in. Of course, playing with a slide (which is a new thing for me) is incredible. Overall a great sounding and looking guitar at a reasonable price.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Acoustic good amplified not good
*by P***K on August 8, 2025*

This resonator guitar is very beautiful especially the fretboard. It sounds really great acoustic, unfortunately plugged in the piezo pickup doesn't seem to amplify the distinct resonator sound. It sounds more like a regular acoustic electric guitar. It sounds fine for that, but you don't get the good resonator tones amplified.

### ⭐ BUZZ KILL
*by J***N on May 14, 2021*

April 2021 - Ordered this via Amazon, was great for about 1 week, then started buzzing -- changed strings, removed plate and put back on -- stopped buzzing for about another week, then started again. Repeated same process but now buzzes so bad it's not playable -- total buzz kill! Gretsch customer service (Fender) closed on a Friday. Do better Gretsch/Fender -- a $600 instrument should last longer than a few weeks of playing! September, 2021 -- after working on this for weeks and taking to a pro luthier, it is still buzzing -- DO NOT BUY THIS INSTRUMENT, YOU WILL GET NO MEANINGFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE AND IT WILL JUST SUCK! I would sell if anyone would buy it. Super frustrating -- DO NOT BUY!!!!
