This Gretsch Bobtail Squareneck is a seriously focused bluegrass machine. The mahogany body gives it a warm core, while the Ampli-Sonic cone cuts through a band like a knife. It's a great option for players wanting a traditional resonator sound and feel without the bulk of a full-size model.

Frequently Asked Questions
Katalox is denser than rosewood, providing a slick, fast feel and a slightly brighter, more articulate tone compared to traditional resonator guitars.
The Fishman Nashville system offers volume and tone controls, allowing for adjustments from subtle acoustic enhancement to a more aggressive amplified sound, suitable for stage or studio.
The Bobtail’s shorter body and headstock significantly reduce the instrument’s size and weight, making it more comfortable to hold and transport, while maintaining excellent tone.
