Recording King RR-41-VS Rattlesnake Wood Body Resonator Guitar, Vintage Sunburst

Recording King has been a well-regarded secret among professional resonator players for the last decade. Now anyone can get a professional quality resonator at a great price in the Recording King RR-41-VS Rattlesnake. The hand-spun European Recording King cone is a world-class tone engine for classic resonator tone and volume, and the open pedestal-style soundwell creates a uniquely loud and broad sonic palette. A removable handrest for quick adjustment, bone nut, and high-quality tuning machines round out this instrument. All that's left to add is the actual snake rattle for true vintage mojo.

Soundposts support the circle of the soundwell, so the cone vibrations are free to bounce within the full cavity of the body. The Pedestal soundwell is designed to give the Rattlesnake an open, thick mid-range sound. The best-selling Recording King RR-41-VS Rattlesnake Resonator is also available with a factory-installed Fishman Nashville pickup on the RR-41E-VS for electric blues players. The passive Fishman Nashville pickup can deliver clear, musical tone or slide over into dirty and gritty territory as you dig into the strings and roll up your amp volume.

About Recording King: Beginning as a house brand in the 1930's for Montgomery Ward, Recording King acoustic guitars and banjos were developed during the Golden Age of musical craftsmanship, a period that resulted in some of the most well-respected and sought-after fretted acoustic instruments available. In 2006, the Recording King brand was revived by The Music Link in Hayward, CA. Building on this piece of American history, Recording King instruments uphold the name's historic legacy using vintage designs and hand-assembled parts. These instruments have the look, feel and sound of the classic models with impeccable workmanship and enhancements for contemporary players. All Recording King models are made for the long-term. You can hand a Recording King instrument down from generation to generation. This is what Recording King strives for in each handmade model. All instruments manufactured by Recording King are covered by their 5 Year Limited Warranty.
