Vintage® Resonator Series
Vintage® VRC800BK
Electro-Acoustic Resonator
(aluminium spun cones top)
The Vintage Resonator guitar is an all mahogany acoustic guitar whose sound is produced by spider spun aluminium cone (resonator) instead of the traditional wooden sound board (top). The Resonator guitars were originally designed to be louder than regular acoustic guitars, which were overwhelmed by percussion instruments in dance orchestras. They became popular in the 1920s when amps usage was uncommon and their distinctive sound was best fit especially in bluegrass and blues musical styles. For many decades later, the resonator guitars’ output volume & its unique guitar/banjo’s like tones had addressed the issue of inadequate guitar’s sound levels and satisfy the musician’s needs.
In present modern time, Vintage reissued a vintage resonator guitar model no : VRC800BK. This model equipped with factory fitted single mini-hambucking pick-up beside of its already loud resonator volume. It is ready for your daily practices and performing on-stage with amps for bigger crowd audience. Since its introduction, VRC800BK has been making other resonator guitar brands around Europe & America a little nervous, by offering full merits of resonator / dobro powerful sound, maximal richness & warm mahogany tones at this bargain price. A must consider model for musicians who want to start with an authentic vintage resonator guitar.
