Classic Roundneck Resonator from Gretsch
First developed in the pre-amplified 1920s to accompany the much-louder horn, banjo, and fiddle instruments in popular ensembles of the time, resonator guitars are truly a uniquely American innovation. The Gretsch G9201 Honey Dipper Roundneck Metal Resonator is a stunning throwback to the earliest days of American music, with its all-brass body and old-timey tone and vintage looks. One strum of this Honey Dipper, and you are conjuring the past when traveling musicians roamed the country, playing for whoever would listen — hobo camps along the rails, or if they got a lucky break, live radio broadcasts from the earliest days of mega-watt stations. With a Gretsch Ampli-Sonic diaphragm biscuit resonator cone hand-spun in Eastern Europe, the Honey Dipper kicks out an impressive level of volume and mesmerizing midrange resonant tone. A gorgeous padauk fingerboard with abalone dot inlays responds beautifully whether you are playing chords or using a slide. The G9201 invites you to explore the styles of old country, blues, and early folk as well as whatever sonic innovations you can dream up. Resonator players at Sweetwater love the Honey Dipper Roundneck Metal Resonator for its playability and tone.
Beautifully appointed
Gretsch's Roundneck Honey Dipper Resonator features tasteful vintage appointments that would look right at home in the company's catalogs of yesteryear. With the G9201, you get a stunning all-brass body with a finish that not only looks great but enhances the instrument's tone. A gorgeous mahogany neck with padauk fingerboard responds beautifully to chords or a slide, letting you explore the sounds of early country, blues, and folk as well as your own contemporary sonic visions. The simple biscuit cone design of this resonator just oozes old-timey vibe and makes you happy they do still make a classic instrument like the G9201.
Gretsch's legacy in American music
The Gretsch G9201 standard resonator guitar transports you back to Gretsch's roots in American music. Everyone knows Gretsch electric guitars and drums, but many don't know they got their start in 1883 as a banjo company. It wasn't long before Gretsch was making mandolins, ukuleles, and eventually flat-top guitars, contributing to the very roots of American music. So when you pick up a Gretsch resonator, you're holding more than a great resonator, you're holding a piece of American music history.
