AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
The Gretsch G9240 Alligator Biscuit Resonator Guitar is a tribute to the classic resonator designs of the 1930s, offering musicians a powerful acoustic instrument with vintage aesthetics. Crafted with a laminated mahogany body and neck, this guitar delivers a warm, resonant tone suitable for various genres, including blues, folk, and slide guitar. The hand-spun Gretsch Ampli-Sonic™ resonator cone, made from nearly 99% pure aluminum, ensures impressive volume and tonal clarity. Its vintage semi-gloss finish and weathered nickel-plated hardware add to its classic appeal, making it a standout choice for both collectors and performers.

We endeavour to show the actual instrument in stock whenever possible, but the guitar in stock may differ slightly from the one shown on our website. Materials used can look different from guitar to guitar, including timber grain and colour, parts colours and finishing. If an instrument is a one-of-a-kind or preowned guitar, the picture will always be of the actual guitar in stock, but production models may have slight variations to the picture shown.
If you're after a particular look, feel free to email us at info@acousticcentre.com.au or send us a message through our chat service to request photos of the actual guitar in stock. We are more than happy to send through pictures of all in-stock guitars, to make your choice easier.
Please note that returns will not be accepted for variations in timber grain / colouring, finish variations and parts colouring, unless there is a fault with the instrument. If you have any questions at all regarding an instrument's appearance, just drop us a line - we're always happy to send photos, and if we have more than one instrument in stock you'll be able to choose the exact guitar that you receive!

Excellent, can’t fault it or the service
Possibly the best customer service I’ve encountered. The guitar came with a fantastic setup and even in the tuning I mentioned in passing that I’d be using. I’ve barely put the guitar down since it’s arrived and that was quite a while ago now! Absolutely love it and would definitely buy from AcousticCentre again.

This resonator is very pretty with nice binding and wood. It sounds excellent, producing a loud volume and a tone that wreaks of the Delta. I think this thing offers a lot of bang for the buck. It is a joy to play, having been sold with a very nice set-up. I spend too much money at the Acoustic Centre, but my woman done left me, and I’m standing at the crossroads....
