A shapely parlor 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 short-scale rosewood fingerboard and vintage “V” profile mahogany neck ensure great playability whether you’re plucking intricate dusty melodies or wailing on your Great Depression-era tune with a slide.Superior biscuit cone tone Despite its slim size, Recording King went to great lengths to ensure this resonator has stellar volume and projection. The Parlor 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 full-size handspun 9.5-inch European biscuit cone that lets this little guitar pump out big sound. The Parlor Resonator has the classic cutting midrange of a full-size resonator, but with additional top-end clarity due to its parlor shape and size. 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 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 Parlor Resonator Acoustic Guitar Features: Parlor-size resonator guitar offers big sound in a compact, travel-friendly package Small body retains powerful, distinct resonator midrange but also yields more shimmering top-end clarity Nickel-plated bell brass top, back, and sides deliver incredible projection through a full-size handspun 9.5-inch resonator cone Comfortable satin-finished mahogany neck with a vintage “V” neck carve for easy fretting Short-scale 24.25-inch fingerboard carved from rosewood 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 maple bridge) Dual F-holes balance tone across lows, mids, and highs SpecificationDetail Resonator Type Biscuit Number of Strings 6 Body Shape Parlor 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 V Fingerboard Material Rosewood Fingerboard Inlay Pearl Dots Number of Frets 19 Scale Length 24.25" 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.
