What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Laminated mahogany back and sides Warm tone and strong resonance
Laminated mahogany top Rich, focused tone with good sustain
Internal Sound-Well bracing Solid construction with increased resonance
Gretsch Ampli-Sonic Biscuit resonator cone Live and authentic resonator sound

The miracle of volume! When you play chunk rhythm, finger-style, bottleneck or anything else, the all-mahogany deluxe-appointed Gretsch G9240 Alligator Biscuit Roundneck resonator guitar projects its distinctively swampy tones all the way to the back door of any dance hall. 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.
