## Overview

The Gretsch G9520E Gin Rickey Acoustic Electric Guitar features a basswood body with X-bracing, a 24” scale nato set neck, and a walnut fingerboard.

## Description

Whether bluesy porch pickin’ or speakeasy swingin’, the G9520E Gin Rickey Acoustic/Electric with Deltoluxe Soundhole Pickup is a real gone finger-zinger classic. Inspired by the Gretsch Rex parlor guitars of old, the Gin Rickey whisks you back to the halcyon days when the earliest Gretsch guitars fueled many a barrelhouse barn burner. Fun, flip and finely crafted, it features an X-braced basswood body with a powerfully resonant voice, a “C”-profile nato neck that joins the body at the 12th fret, a smooth walnut fingerboard with 18 vintage-style frets and pearloid dot inlays, a top-load walnut bridge with compensated synthetic bone saddle for even intonation all along the neck, and more. And coolest of the cool, the Gretsch Deltoluxe acoustic magnetic soundhole pickup reproduces a crisp yet throaty voice. What else? You’ve got aged white body binding and an aged white “G”-graphic pickguard, gold-and-white soundhole rosette with gold double-line top striping, nickel hardware, vintage-style end-pin strap buttons and open-gear die-cast tuners, and a hot Smokestack Black finish.

Review: Fun guitar that feels more like an electric than an acoustic but more acoustic than a semi-hollow - I really like this guitar. It's not my main guitar or even my backup, I mainly play a Stratocaster in a rock and roll cover band. But this Gin Rickey is a fun guitar, it sounds pretty good and it looks killer. My story- I randomly saw a review of the Jim Dandy on a YouTube video one day and I was intrigued. The Jim Dandy is the version of the Gin Rickey without a pickup. After learning about the history of this type of guitar and its roots in blues, I started thinking maybe I should check one out. I saw that my local guitar center had a Jim Dandy in stock, and I went there with the intention to possibly walk out with one. I liked it. I just didn't like the color that they had in stock, apparently the black ones were on order. In fact, there were no Jim Dandy's available online anywhere in black. However, there were Gin Rickeys available. Maybe it's GAS (gear acquisition syndrome) but I just couldn't get the idea of owning one of these guitars out of my head. I waited a couple of days and still felt the strong desire to own one, so I bought a Gin Rickey from desertcart. I have to say, I'm glad I went with the Gin Rickey. It looks so much better than the Jim Dandy to me. Even though there's only a bit of extra binding and the pickup, it classes up the whole aesthetic, makes it feel more worthy of the price tag. The pickup is pretty good, it sounds more like an electric guitar than an acoustic. I can plug it into my Blues Jr and it has none of the compression that comes with piezo pickups. I personally like the way it sounds. But then again, I really dislike how piezo pickups sound. Acoustically there isn't much there if you compare it with the big boys. I mean, it's loud enough for a living room/small lounge or ...parlor. It's not super resonant like a guitar with rosewood back/sides and spruce top. It's affordable and it's meant to be like the affordable catalog guitars from 100-ish years ago. It has its own sound and characteristics. The same sound and characteristics that helped define the blues. I've had it for about half a year and I play it occasionally. It's a fun small guitar with good action that I can play anywhere in the house. If you're expecting a $1000 Martin for a quarter of the price, you're going to be disappointed. I could see some eclectic individual making this their number one. Maybe it's the size and sonic qualities but this is guitar that feels more like an electric guitar than an acoustic. I plan on leaning into the electric quality of this guitar and stringing it with a set of Ernie Ball Rock and Blues (10-52) and potentially making it my dedicated slide guitar. TLDR: It's a fun guitar that feels more like an electric than an acoustic but more acoustic than a semi-hollow
Review: What a fun guitar! - I really like this guitar a lot. It's not an expensive guitar but it sure doesn't seem like a "cheapo" guitar, no sirree... It plays nice! If anything I may have the string height massaged by a pro, to lower the strings at the bridge end. At the nut they are already pretty low. It's fun to play and gratifying, it has a nice feel. And for those that hanker to rock or play some electric blues, the pick-up is surprisingly effective. It is really easy to make it growl. But even just played acoustic, it's tons of fun.

De verdad que si son como yo que necesitamos una guitarra versátil para tocar con amplificador de guitarra eléctrica, esta es. Super cómoda, el acabado mate es precioso, entona a la perfección, viene en muy buenas condiciones (la envié a América del Sur desde USA) y para su precio tiene buenas prestaciones.
