General

Recording King offers traditional and also reasonably priced instruments that are perfect for playing American roots music. It'll come as no surprise then that Recording King has been a popular manufacturer among fans of old-fashioned blues, bluegrass and Americana. The guitar you see here is the Recording King RR-65-BR Squareneck Resonator with a Satin Brown finish. As its name states, this guitar has a square neck, which means it's made to be played as a lap steel guitar.

Construction

The foundation of this beautiful resonator guitar is its mahogany body and hefty mahogany neck. Despite the moderate price of this instrument, Record King didn't skimp on its components, as it features an ebony fretboard and high-quality bell brass tailpiece. The heart of the RR-65 is its resonator cone, which is made of hand-spun aluminium. The two covered sound holes above the cone help create more volume.

Square neck

Even though they were originally designed to give guitarists more volume, resonators quickly become popular as lap steel guitars. When played as a lap steel, a slide is used and the guitarist has the guitar on his or her lap. The volume, metal twang and impressive sustain of resonator guitars makes them the perfect instruments for this playing style. What's more, square neck guitars were specifically designed for this type of playing. The square neck allows it to lay better in your lap, while being rugged enough for alternate tunings.

New Honey-Sweet Edition of the Gretsch G9202 Resonator

Thursday 19 November 2015

Guitarists who are serious about playing the resonator guitar have always set great store by the Gretsch Honey Dipper Specials. These fantastic resonator instruments - which are available as round-neck models, but also come with square necks for lap steel fanatics - hardly leave any room for improvement, which is why Gretsch issues the occasional limited edition with a special finish. And credit where credit's due: the exclusive Weathered Bell Bronze finish certainly becomes the G9202 Honey Dipper Special Round Neck.
