Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Gretsch's G9230 Bobtail is a square-neck acoustic-electric resonator guitar aimed at bluegrass playing. Its bound mahogany body, traditional-style F holes, and 2-Color Sunburst finish frame an Ampli-Sonic resonator cone hand-spun from nearly 99% pure aluminum. A Fishman Nashville system with a split-saddle piezo-ceramic pickup is designed for its spider-style bridge and provides consistent, accurate sound reproduction for performances. The guitar pairs its acoustic resonator design with onboard pickup capability.
