I'm a luthier, southpaw. Friend just gave me one of these with a broken headstock(clean break, easy repair). I'm going to bring it back to life as a lefty.
Have you ever considered making one left handed?
YEAH BABY!!! SOUTHPAWS RULE! Thinkin' of gettin' one of these. Don't like the BRASS bodies, prefer the steel....but spider bridge?? Not sure. Still.....
Imagine droping your pick inside of this thing it would never come out
It happened to me a couple of times xD Got so used to it that takes me less than a minute to take it out xD
Hahaha! Fair point
Lol, too funny! Thanks for that humorous post. Made my day! 😂
But you could use it for a maraca.
I got the wood body one today. Really loving it. Great sound.
The Boxcar? My fav guitar ive owned. i had the Honeydipper too, and loved it too, but no longer have it, thinking of this one.
I'm going to buy one of these such a rich crisp clean sound . Just like biting into a Granny Smith Apple.
Me too buddy.
I’m thinking around this coming Boxing Day myself. Indeed it does sound great.
Cheers
@@daveyponderosa9549 I wonder if they make steel mandolins.. I'm on a mandolin trend at the moment my last trend was a Hurdy Gurdy. Now one of those in steel would be grand. Before that was a Sitar.

Oops! Sorry Ma’am.
I am very happy with mine.
Hello, je viens d'en acheter une en France et j'en suis très très content...Bravo GRETSCH....
Oui, j'y songe, la résonnance me semble encore supérieure à la version "bois".
Mine sounds great through my vintage Valco amps 👍
He might wanna get that pick off his thumb.
It looks purple. ._.
Is this the same guitar featured on the cover of Dire Straits' Brothers in Arms?
what a great sound!
Sounds amazing!
Why are the Gretsch spider cone models a few hundred dollars more than the similar biscuit cone models ❔❓
ie. bobtail vs alligator in wood and bobtail vs honey dipper in metals ??
Is it me, or does the G9221 sound a lot more like a regular acoustic, and less like a true "resonator" than the Gretsch "Honey Dipper"? Is it because of the "spider" bridge (Honey Dipper has the classic "biscuit" bridge). Or because the HD is brass while this is steel? I want the classic reso sound, delta blues style, but also the option to plug in. Gretsch doesn't seem to do that. Honey Dipper doesn't come electric/acoustic, and the G9221 doesn't sound come with the same hardware. What gives, Gretsch? If only we could put the two together.
i have the same issue!!! ive had both of them on my cart for a month. im considering the slimline pickup for the honey dipper. which one did you go for? do you have any advice??
ok following up here. i just bought this guitar and im sending it back and changing it for the honey dipper. honestly, it just isnt loud. it sounds almost as loud as my regular acoustic and man, i can pluck the strings hard. also, the spider bridge/cone i feel rattles on certain notes on the bass strings (it did impriove with lower gauge strings and tightening the spider). the pickup is good, but honestly, im after that acoustic resonator sound. ive always had a no electric/acoustic rule, which i broke for the first time in my life. lesson learned. im about to send the return email, if someone reminds me i posted this in a couple of weeks ill follow up.
I totally agree with ziggurat what’s up? Iggy I couldn’t have said it better! Go with G9201 I am.
Jeff
following up here. i returned the bobtail and got the honey dipper second hand. AMAZING. completely different. much much much louder. GO FOR THE HONEY DIPPER
jonasvm88 Thankyou so much mate, I’ve been waiting for somebody to make my mind up and you’ve just done that! How are you getting on with ur honey dipper a few months in?
👍❤️
DAYYUM! I WANT IT!
That pick up quacks like a dang duck...
I can see the tin man jamming with this.
Can it be converted to left handed because I never see lefty resonators.
What's the tuning?
what does it sound like UN-plugged? .....because I don't like electronic amplification. Anyone??
what amp are you plugged into?
What is the action like, especially at the first five frets?
how is the pliability and the action is the neck comfortable ?
1:47 I hate the V neck! Can I sand it down? The V hurts my thumb big time. Can I shave her down?
I want one!
Are cones interchangeable?
did you get an answer for this?
Yes, some are.
Anyone knows if this guitar resonator be played without the use of amplifier? Will it sounds loud? Thanks.
I have this guitar, it’s plenty loud unplugged
What is the name of that song? And what is the tuning? Thanks :)
DO THEY MAKE THIS IN A WOOD ELECTRIC PICK UP?
What's the difference between the bobtail and the honeydipper?
Sold
So the guy couldnt find a slide in that whole shop for the demo???🤔
Is that standard tuning?
Open G I think but I'm not sure
Sounded like open d to me 😅
reviewing a resonator without any acoustic playing? if i wanted a fishman demo I'd be somewhere else
Especially after all that time spent going on abut the acoustic construction
Exactly!
Nice looking, but no way I'm paying $1000 for a guitar made in China for probably $150.00. Bring back the USA made stuff.
the pickup sounds really nice.
