AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
One strum of the Honey Dipper transports you back 80 years to a hobo jungle just off the tracks, where wandering workers congregate in camaraderie and where the comforting and captivating strains of a real all-metal resonator guitar waft through the smoke of oil-drum fires and enchant the ears with a sound like raindrops beating on a rusty pump house roof. The very sound and look of this fine Gretsch creation will make you want to free yourself of the damning confines of your office, your cubicle or whatever it is that enslaves you and hop the next train to anywhere with a smile on your face as big as the sky and a song in your heart

We endeavour to show the actual instrument in stock whenever possible, but the guitar in stock may differ slightly from the one shown on our website. Materials used can look different from guitar to guitar, including timber grain and colour, parts colours and finishing. If an instrument is a one-of-a-kind or preowned guitar, the picture will always be of the actual guitar in stock, but production models may have slight variations to the picture shown.
If you're after a particular look, feel free to email us at info@acousticcentre.com.au or send us a message through our chat service to request photos of the actual guitar in stock. We are more than happy to send through pictures of all in-stock guitars, to make your choice easier.
Please note that returns will not be accepted for variations in timber grain / colouring, finish variations and parts colouring, unless there is a fault with the instrument. If you have any questions at all regarding an instrument's appearance, just drop us a line - we're always happy to send photos, and if we have more than one instrument in stock you'll be able to choose the exact guitar that you receive!

AustraliaFirst up: buying from Acoustic Centre was a breeze, good folks to deal with! OK…this is the first resonator I’ve owned. Fit & finish is outstanding, a beautiful looking bit of kit. The setup was perfect straight out of the box. Has a big metallic voice with plenty of sustain. V-neck profile is really comfortable for my slightly dodgy 65 yr old hands. Feels heavy at over 6kg, definitely one to play sitting down. A mate owns a National steel body 12 fret reso which, I must admit, sounds marginally better, but also cost 5 times as much. The Gretsch gives you plenty of twang for your buck. Gonna put John Pearse Spanish Neck strings on & tune to open G…see how that sounds.
Ordered this on Saturday afternoon - delivery to a rural area by Tuesday midday. Amazing service by Acoustic centre, with great friendly service provided. Beautiful guitar, so looking forward to my new journey - thankyou
A beautiful guitar a great price a bet it sounds just fantastic would not find a more wonderful looking instrument and what a great name
