Gretsch G9520E Gin Rickey with Electronics - Smokestack Black Review

Get serious vintage tone and playability with the Gretsch Gin Rickey Acoustic/Electric with Deltoluxe Soundhole. The Gin Rickey recalls the early decades of the 20th century when Gretsch acoustics were played at barn shows and front parlors. The G9520E is made from a select, resonant basswood body s...upported by X-bracing. A walnut fingerboard on the 24-inch scale nato neck is smooth and playable, ideal for fingerpicking or flatpicking. The Gin Rickey really delivers that classic parlor-style volume — big, bold, and full, making it great for recording as well. And when you want to pug in, the Gin Rickey features a Gretsch Deltoluxe acoustic magnetic soundhole pickup that kicks out gritty, throaty amplified acoustic tone. Here at Sweetwater, we found putting this acoustic in front of a good condenser mic yields some beautifully balanced results!
