Recording King RPH-R1 Dirty 30’s Single-0 Resonator in the classic Tobacco Matte Sunburst finish. Part of Recording King’s affordable yet authentic Dirty 30’s series, this little beast delivers that raw, throaty vintage resonator tone straight out of the 1930s—perfect for old-school blues, Delta slide, bottleneck work, songwriting, or adding gritty character to any setup. Whether you’re a seasoned slide player or just want something cooler than a standard acoustic, this road-worthy parlor resonator punches way above its weight!
The compact 0-size body is super portable and comfortable, with optimized f-holes for balanced bass/treble projection and that signature “dry, throaty” reso sound from the hand-spun 9.5” cone in a pedestal soundwell. Modern reliability meets vintage vibe—no compromises here.
