Johnson Musical Instruments has become a leading musical instrument manufacturer over the last 10 years by offering great lines of guitars and pro sound with unmatched value. We began crafting guitars and fretted instruments over 10-years ago and have built up a vast collection of acoustics, electrics, resonators, folk, amps, pro sound, and more. Our dedication to preserving the best interests of our customers at affordable prices has kept us a forerunner in the industry.
Today, Johnson has expanded to offer a wide selection of resonators, acoustic and electric guitars, folk instruments including banjos and mandolins, as well as a full range of amplifiers. All of these products are available in the United States and throughout the world.
This wood-body resonator guitar is perfect for backyard bottle slide playing. With its slotted headstock and natural mahogany finish, it has the classic look and feel of the vintage Triolian guitars from the 1930’s, without the marked up price! The larger body shape adds much to its traditional look and exceptional sound. Built with a mahogany top, back, sides, and neck and a hard maple biscuit bridge, this triolian really sings.
The 9.5” hand-spun spiral Continental cone resonator provides this triolian with incredible projection and responsive tone. The JR-550 also featuresa rosewood fretboard and a 12th fret neck joint, as well as a modified F-hole soundboard. Add to that inlaid M.O.P position markers, a nickelplated coverplate and tailpiece, and you’ve got a new triolian that leads in tone, features, and value.
