Recording King Dirty 30s Minnie Bucker Resonator Acoustic Electric - Matte Black

Product Description

The RPH-R2 starts exactly where a great resonator should: the cone. The hand-spun European resonator cone delivers classic throaty, honky resonator goodness, housed in a pedestal soundwell where soundposts support the circle of the soundwell and cone vibrations are free to bounce within the full cavity of the body. Acoustic, it sounds like a proper resonator guitar should — dry, immediate, and full of character.

When you plug in, the Minnie Bucker's mini humbucker can go from just a swampy touch of dirt to crazy blues crunch. It's a pickup choice that makes complete sense on an instrument like this — warmer and thicker than a single-coil, with enough output to push an amp without overwhelming the acoustic personality underneath. The responsive pickup helps tone freaks dial in the perfect tone using only their hands — roll back the volume for a cleaner, more acoustic character; push it forward and let the amp do the rest.

The small body design pairs perfectly with the pedestal soundwell and 12-fret neck joint for a guitar that's lively, loud, and resonant, but small enough to take anywhere. A spruce top, whitewood back and sides, NATO neck, and ovangkol fretboard give it a lightweight, comfortable build that suits both seated playing and standing performance. A bone nut and dovetail neck joint ensure the fundamentals are solid.

Then there's the look. Checkerboard purfling, f-holes, and the black matte finish give the Minnie Bucker a visual identity that's as distinctive as its name suggests.
