Description
What makes this guitar special? This is an excellent hybrid of electric guitar and traditional resonator. The C shape neck feels like a modern electric in hand and is easy to move around from the nut to the cutaway. The brass-plated iron body produces a great genuine resonator tone acoustically that translates beautifully into the magnetic and piezo pickups. Although the brass body is understated in color, the etched-looking designs add a ton of character, along with the gold lipstick pickup, gold knurled knobs with abalone caps, and the pearl and abalone block inlays. Perfect for slide and fingerstyle alike, this great hybrid will add a whole new dynamic to many players’ roster.
Condition: This resonator is in excellent condition overall. It has very few marks outside of a few small dings here and there, and is otherwise very clean and still looks great. The frets show very little wear and still have a full lifetime left in them. The neck is straight and the truss rod functions as it should.

Neck: C shape mahogany neck and bound rosewood fingerboard with pearl and abalone block inlays. 24 ¾” scale. 1 11/16” nut width.

Playability/Sound: The C shape neck is very comfortable, especially for a resonator and is easy to move around from the nut to the cutaway. The combination of piezo and magnetic pickup are great for blending a bit of natural acoustic sound with a bit more electric. The overall tone is fantastic. Even with a body smaller than the average resonator, still has a fantastic response across the board.
Case: No case included.
