We have a selection in most acoustic body styles and additionally roundback type guitars and classical versions. Versatile instruments for most styles of music and particularly useful for recording.

Resonator Guitars
Resonators were originally designed to be louder than conventional guitars for use in dance bands and incorporate 1 or more metal cones in place of a wooden top. With this comes a unique tone commonly used for blues and bluegrass and often played as a slide guitar. Latest generation guitars have combined these guitars with a pickup system to produce an amplified version. We have a selection of acoustic and electro resonators in a number of styles.
