Gretsch G9221 resonator, made in China 2021. Cool, right? There's nothing quite like the sound of a steel body resonator, and this is an easy entry into that glorious territory both in terms of playability and dollarydoos. It's a round neck example, so it's designed to manage normal playing as well as slide style. The neck is a V style shape, which feels pretty intuitive and wins a few blues points. The tone is snarky and loud, with a pleasing juicy body and a responsive, growly attack. Maybe it's the secret sauce you've been looking for? Nope, that's just the Texas smokey barbeque marinade.
