A shapely Single 0 body ensures vintage articulation and playability that’s made for travel, gigs, or simply keeping it within reach and on display in your living space. Meanwhile, a comfortable Honduran mahogany neck and paduak fingerboard ensure great playability whether you’re plucking intricate dusty melodies or wailing on your Great Depression-era tune with a slide. This instrument also features a smooth “C” neck carve, which makes fretting feel natural and easy up and down the neck.Superior biscuit cone tone Despite its slim size, Recording King went to great lengths to ensure this resonator has stellar volume and projection. The Nickel Style-0 Resonator body is made from only the finest bell brass. This body yields distinct metallic tone that’s not only classic and rich, but also a little rough around the edges, just like it should be. Sound is further amplified by a handspun 9.5-inch European biscuit cone that outperforms mass-produced stamped cones in every way including tone, volume, sustain. A handspun cone is a worthy and, frankly, expected feature seeing as Recording King is one of the few resonator makers whose roots stretch far back into the 20th century. And at either end of this guitar, you’ll find premium hardware that leaves nothing to chance: there’s a bone nut, a hardwood ebony saddle, a rock maple bridge, and sturdy nickel tuners with an 18:1 ratio for reliable and smooth workhorse performance 24/7.Recording King: retro refreshed The landmark Recording King brand traces its origins back to 1930s building contracts with the retail titan Montgomery Ward. During the early days of radio and recorded music, affordable but well-crafted Recording King guitars, banjos, and resonators swept across the nation far and wide. Now revived, Recording King hearkens back to those early days of production-line American instruments built for pros and budding musicians alike. Nearly a century later, these retro models take their cues from vintage designs for results that look and sound like their 1930s counterparts.Recording King Nickel Style-0 Resonator Acoustic Guitar Features: Nickel-plated bell brass top, back, and sides deliver incredible projection with classic resonator tone Slim Style-0 body makes for a highly portable and comfortable instrument Large 9.5-inch resonator cone is handspun to perfection Vintage design that used formative pre-WWII resonators for inspiration Comfortable satin-finished mahogany neck with a smooth “C” neck carve for easy fretting Smooth fingerboard carved from hardwood padauk with 19 frets and abalone shell inlays Sturdy nickel tuners with black button covers and 18:1 tuning ratio for fast and precise tuning Premium hardware increases resonance (a bone nut, ebony saddle, and hard rock maple bridge) Dual F-holes balance tone across lows, mids, and highs SpecificationDetail Resonator Type Biscuit Number of Strings 6 Body Shape Style-O Left-/Right-handed Right-handed Body Style No Cutaway Color Natural Finish Nickel-plated Top Material Bell Brass Back & Sides Material Bell Brass Body Bracing Brass Soundwell Neck Wood Mahogany Neck Shape C Fingerboard Material Padauk Fingerboard Inlay Abalone Dots Number of Frets 19 Scale Length 24.87" Tuning Machines Open Gear with Black Buttons Bridge Material Maple Nut/Saddle Material Bone/Ebony Nut Width 1.75" Strings D'Addario, .013-.056 Case Included Sold Separately RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
