Up for sale is a custom-modified Gretsch G9520 Gin Rickey acoustic/folk guitar featuring a unique floating rubber bridge and tailpiece conversion.

If you are chasing that warm, muted, thuddy, tape-recorded indie-folk/bedroom-pop tone (WIlco, Phoebe Bridgers, or Taylor Swift's Folklore), this is the ultimate budget-friendly secret weapon.

Modifications & Setup:

  • Bridge Conversion: The original pinned bridge has been replaced with a floating rubber bridge setup, giving it that classic plunky, upright-bass-adjacent decay with zero annoying overtones.
  • Tailpiece: A sturdy tailpiece has been added to anchor the strings, properly transferring tension to the new floating bridge.
  • Action & Intonation: Set up to play comfortably for fingerpicking and strumming chords in lower-to-middle positions.
  • Please note: This is a heavily modified instrument. It does not sound or play like a standard acoustic guitar—it is specifically built for vintage lo-fi, dry, and woody textures.

What’s Included:

  • Gretsch Gin Rickey (Modified)
  • Shipped in gretsch gig bag
