Powerful Gretsch resonator guitar for stage & studio-Gretsch G9241 Alligator Biscuit Katalox FB 2-Tone Sunburst
The Gretsch resonator guitar is a swampy-toned powerhouse, especially the Gretsch G9241 Alligator Biscuit Katalox FB 2-Tone Sunburst Round‑Neck model. Whether you finger‑pick, chunk rhythm, or slide bottleneck blues, its all‑mahogany body and “Ampli‑Sonic™” resonator cone drive sound to the far corners of any dance hall.
Distinctive All-Mahogany Construction
Built from layered mahogany with a medium “V” mahogany neck, this resonator guitar blends warmth and drive. It feels solid in your hands, and its semi-gloss sunburst top gives it timeless visual appeal. You’ll find it’s a natural fit for roots, blues, folk, and country players.
Ampli‑Sonic™ Cone: Loud, Pure, Responsive
At the heart of this guitar lies Gretsch’s hand-spun Ampli‑Sonic™ diaphragm. Made from 99% pure aluminum in Eastern Europe, the resonator cone delivers a clear, cutting tone and massive volume. When you play, listeners hear every nuance—from soft picks to punchy slides.
Electro-Acoustic Setup with Vintage Style
It ships electro-acoustic ready, thanks to its Gretsch trapeze tailpiece, maple “biscuit” bridge, ebony saddles, and Grover Sta‑Tite tuners. The 25″ scale and 44.45 mm nut width make it comfortable for both chordal work and intricate lead lines.

Why It Stands Out
Most resonator guitars rely on wood or lower-grade resonators. This Gretsch resonator guitar pairs premium materials with real electro-acoustic capability. Thus, it’s ideal for live performances, studio tracking, or recording sessions.
For extra versatility, many players complement it with other Gretsch guitars like the G9500 Jim Dandy Parlor for softer tones.
