NGD: Gretsch G9531 00-Style 3 **PICS**

[Vee_Voe]

New guitar day here for me, this is my new Gretsch G9531 Double-0 Style 3. After seeing this in a clip of NAMM 2017 I was very curious, I tried to find more info especially a sound clip and personally input from folks who owns one. I couldnt find much of anything aside some some sound clips of a few models from the same line but not this exact one. I went ahead and pulled the trigger on one the other day and I couldnt be happier. For the price the guitar has some nice features such as the inlays, tortoise headstock overlay, and rope purfling. These appointments really sets it off. Being a new guitar the tone is not quite as open but none the less the guitar is nice and responsive. The build quality is nice for this price point, I wasn't a fan of the original pickguard so I replaced it with a Greven OM tear drop.

Handsome guitar.

Very nice guitar! I tried one several times at a guitar store where I take lessons and have been contemplating one in the near future. Enjoy!

Oh wow. That's nice.

Just picked one of these up... loving it so far. it's basically shaped and styled after the Gibson L-OO. I removed the crappy pick guard immediately and I have a Holter one coming. it has surprising volume, looks fantastic and is very well-built, granted it's a lam mahogany back and sides with a solid spruce top.

Sure is purrrrrrty!

Congratulations On Acquiring This Beauty!

I see Guitar Center has these in a little less fancy appointments, and without a pickguard, with regular wood headstock overlay, and a Fishman pickup installed for $399. https://www.guitarcenter.com/Gretsch...4-ef6037c1be80

That's lovely, and my favourite of the Roots models. As you say there's a paucity of reviews available, but the few I have seen all sound good. Here's a demo of the three models:

I loved this guitar when I played it at GC, but be careful. Although I really liked the one I played. It was marked way down in price due to the bridge being reglued on. Read many bad reviews about the bridge lifting. I may still offer them a very lowball price for it if it’s still there next time I stop in. Just giving you a heads up.

Nice looking guitar, enjoy it!

Very pretty guitar. Might need to get one to compliment my Alvarez Sitka/hog parlor....Enjoy!

The Greven pickguard upgrade looks like it belongs there. I might try one of these?

I had a 2005 Gretsch Rancher Jr.. Featured a solid sitka top (last year for that) and made in Japan. I gifted it to my grandson. It is an 00 size with a cutaway and round fretboard (12"). It had really good sound for $300. Highly recommended for a small budget guitar if you can take the 1 11/16" nut width.

Would love to try some blues on your model. Nice headstock veneer. Neck looks like a tasty design. Enjoy it!

Beautiful!
