Back to the roots of 20th century acoustics.

Rob Laing
Gretsch G9521 Style 2 Triple-0 Auditorium

Whoever was the first person to reassuringly state that size doesn’t matter could have been talking about acoustic guitars. Bigger doesn’t mean better, though it can often mean louder and boomier. With that in mind, you might be surprised by what you’re drawn to when trying acoustics out. Especially if you’re coming from the world of dreadnoughts, which is varied enough in itself. Gretsch is offering three models that are both alternative in aesthetic and sound with its Roots Collection. After the Single-0 ‘Parlor’ and Double-0 ‘Grand Concert’, this G9521 Style 2 Auditorium Triple-0 is the middle model in price. Does this homage to early 20th-century acoustic craft have the charms to tempt us to strum on its porch of possibilities?
