Gretsch G9480 Laydie Belle Irish Tenor Banjo

Allmänt

This attractive Gretsch G9480 Irish Tenor Banjo has a nickname: Laydie Belle. Thanks to its small tenor size (it has a scale length of only 19 inches), it is ideal for traditional folk music. The Laydie Belle is supplied with special-gauge strings that allow for a GDAE tuning (one octave below a mandolin), which is perfect for mandolin and violin players.

The clear presence of the G9480 banjo

The four-string Gretsch Laydie Belle Banjo owes its name to its Whyte Laydie tone ring, which, aided by the 3-ply maple sides of the banjo, ensures a loud, clear tone. The G9480 Irish Tenor Banjo also features a three-piece neck and a fingerboard with vintage-style B&D inlays. Some good news for guitar and ukulele players: with a set of alternative strings, you can also tune the Gretsch Laydie Belle as a DGBE.
