A slim shapely 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 mahogany neck and padauk 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 “C” neck carve, which makes fretting feel natural and easy up and down the neck.Mahogany power with a handspun cone Despite its slim size, Recording King went to great lengths to ensure this resonator has great volume and projection. The Rattlesnake Resonator features a premium body crafted entirely from mahogany. This classic tonewood is prized for its sustain, depth, and volume, and it’s a natural pairing for the Rattlesnake’s handspun resonator cone. This cone features soundwell construction with resonator posts raises the cone slightly above the body, a feature that boosts sound chamber space for extra volume and resonance you wouldn’t otherwise get. The result is better projection, and a more musical sound that exemplifies what makes resonator guitars so unique.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 Rattlesnake Acoustic-electric Small Body Resonator Guitar Features: Mahogany top with a gloss finish delivers strong sustain with bold focused tone Sturdy mahogany back and sides complement the mahogany top with midrange heft and rich resonance Slim round-shouldered body is comfortable to play and easy to take on the go Gloss-finished mahogany neck with a comfortable “C” profile Smooth fingerboard carved from hardwood padauk with 19 frets 12th-fret neck joint yields a soft, supple string feel that’s great for fingerpicking Hand-spun European resonator cone delivers world-class tone inspired by vintage designs Pedestal soundwell with an elevated soundpost design gives more room for notes to bloom within the guitar Internal Sitka spruce bracing and dual F-holes balance tone across lows, mids, and highs Premium hardware increases resonance (a bone nut, ebony saddle, and maple bridge) Sturdy nickel tuners with black button covers and 18:1 tuning ratio for fast and precise tuning Fishman Nashville pickup lets you plug in for a tonal range of sweet and smooth to driven swampy grit Includes removable handrest for quick adjustment SpecificationDetail Resonator Type Biscuit Number of Strings 6 Body Shape Small Body Left-/Right-handed Right-handed Body Style No Cutaway Color Sunburst Finish Gloss Top Material Mahogany Back & Sides Material Mahogany Body Bracing Pedestal Soundwell Neck Wood Mahogany Neck Shape C Fingerboard Material Padauk Fingerboard Inlay Pearl Dots Binding Ivory Plastic Number of Frets 19 Scale Length 25" Tuning Machines Open Gear with Black Buttons Bridge Material Maple Nut/Saddle Material Bone/Ebony Nut Width 1.75" Electronics Fishman Nashville Pickup Strings D'Addario, .013-.056 Case Included Sold Separately RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
