Product Detail
Whether you're into bluesy porch picking or speakeasy swing, the G9520E Gin Rickey Acoustic/Electric Guitar with Deltoluxe Soundhole Pickup is a true classic.

It also sports aged white body binding, an aged white 'G' - graphic pickguard, a 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. Available in a cool Smokestack Black finish. Series: Roots Collection. Country Of Origin: ID. Body: Basswood. Neck Material: Nato. Fingerboard: Walnut.

Using this Gretsch G9520E Gin Rickey guitar is a breeze. Just grab a pick or use your fingers and start strumming or picking. When you want to amplify the sound, plug it into an amplifier using the Deltoluxe soundhole pickup. For tuning, use the open - gear die - cast tuners to get the right pitch. As for maintenance, keep it in a cool and dry place. Wipe the strings with a clean cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. If the strings start to sound dull, it's time to replace them with new D'Addario® EJ16 Phosphor Bronze strings. Be careful when handling the guitar to avoid scratches on the Smokestack Black finish. And if you're not using it for a long time, loosen the strings a bit to relieve the tension on the neck.
