Recording King Tricone Resonator Guitar - Roundneck
Selling at $1399 in Retail Music Stores.....Save a Bit of $$ here! Brand new!
The unique tricone sound -- originally created nearly a century ago to combine band-level volume and bell-like clarity -- lives on today in the RM-991 Nickel Tricone Resonator.
Traditional tricone throatiness comes from three RK Hand-spun resonator cones and a Bell Brass body. Hand-spun aluminum is unmatched for true resophonic volume, and RK cones are among the best available. The warmth of the brass body softens and rounds the projected notes, while the open pan soundwell allows the chiming overtones this guitar is famous for.
With a sandcast powder-coated T-Bridge and nickel plated body the Nickel Tricone Resonator looks and sounds like a century old closet classic. Just like the original design, history is in your hands.
Built for comfort
This guitar is built for comfort with a number of upscale features that won't break the bank. A shapely round-shouldered 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 smooth “C” neck carve, which makes fretting feel natural and easy up and down the neck.
