Roots Collection covers all country/folk/bluegrass instruments made by Gretsch. The current lineup consists of acoustic guitars, mandolins, banjos, resonator guitars, and ukuleles. Roughly, the Roots collection prices equal those of Streamliner Collection and Electromatic Collection ($300-$1,300). G9480 Laydie Belle 17-Fret Irish Tenor Banjo is the smallest banjo featured in Roots catalog (excluding the banjo/ukulele hybrid model); it rocks four-string construction (GDAE tuning, exactly one octave below standard mandolin tuning), open-back resonator, and has only 17 frets. The color palette is limited to Natural (w/chrome hardware, white plastics). Core construction features include a 3-ply maple rim, Remo Renaissance head, 3-piece maple/walnut neck (vintage soft U profile), rosewood fingerboard (diamond inlays, 1.1875" nut), maple bridge (w/ebony tip), and geared planetary tuners.
