Gretsch LTD Roots Honey Dipper Resonator Guitar - Weathered Bell Bronze

First developed in the pre-amplified 1920s to accompany the much-louder horn, banjo, and fiddle instruments in popular ensembles of the time, resonator guitars are truly a uniquely American innovation. The Gretsch LTD Roots Honey Dipper resonator is a stunning throwback to the earliest days of American music, with its all-brass body, old-timey tone, and vintage looks. One strum of this Honey Dipper, and you'll conjure the past when traveling musicians roamed the country, playing for whoever would listen — hobo camps along the rails, or if they got a lucky break, live radio broadcasts from the earliest days of mega-watt stations. With a Gretsch Ampli-Sonic diaphragm biscuit resonator cone hand-spun in Eastern Europe, the Honey Dipper kicks out an impressive level of volume and mesmerizing midrange resonant tone. A gorgeous padauk fingerboard with aged pearloid dot inlays responds beautifully whether you are playing chords or using a slide. The Gretsch LTD Roots Honey Dipper resonator invites you to explore the styles of old country, blues, and early folk, as well as whatever sonic innovations you can dream up.
