Guitar Nine's Attic: G9 Golden Grenadiers

grenadiers /ˌɡrenəˈdirs/ elite soldiers, the first regiment of the royal household infantry.

A look at the Guitar Nine organization's gilded corps of gold-finished guitars, amassed from across the world's finest builders. They call them the Golden Grenadiers - nine instruments united not by a single maker, but by a shared brilliance. From the thundering low end of an Ernie Ball Music Man 50th Anniversary StingRay Special Bass to the searing leads of an Ibanez JS2GD Joe Satriani Signature, this regiment spans every corner of the electric guitar battlefield. Gibson, Fender, PRS, ESP, Jackson, Suhr - the Grenadiers represent a who's who of premier builders, each contributing a gold-adorned weapon to the ranks. Like their historical namesakes - the tallest, strongest soldiers chosen for the most dangerous assignments - these nine were handpicked not for uniformity, but for excellence. A Fender Johnny A. Stratocaster stands shoulder to shoulder with a Gibson Custom 1957 Les Paul Reissue. A Jackson Pro Plus Soloist holds the line alongside a PRS S2 Vernon Reid Vela. This is no single-brand platoon. This is an elite, multi-national fighting force dressed in gold and built to dominate.
