Recording King Minnie Bucker Dirty 30s Resonator - Matte Black

Product Description

The RPH-R2-MBK Dirty 30s Resonator delivers authentic vintage style and a classic "swampy" tone, making it an ideal choice for old-school blues and slide players. Part of the popular Dirty 30s series, this Single 0-sized instrument drips with historical vibe, from its classic tailpiece and optimized f-holes to its sleek Matte Black finish.

The core of this resonator’s sound is a 9.5-inch European hand-spun Recording King cone. Mounted in a unique pedestal-style soundwell, the cone is supported by soundposts that allow vibrations to bounce freely throughout the full cavity of the body. This design, combined with a spruce soundboard and white wood back and sides, produces a dry, throaty, and mid-forward tone that cuts through the mix with a distinctive "honky" resonance.

Built for comfort and reliability, the RPH-R2-MBK features a Single O body shape that is lighter and more compact than larger resonator models, ensuring comfort during long playing sessions. The nato neck is crafted with a Contemporary "C" profile and a dovetail joint for modern playability, paired with a stable rosewood fingerboard. Whether you're a songwriter looking for that gritty Delta blues sound or a new player seeking a cool, minimalist instrument, the RPH-R2-MBK offers authentic resonator bark with a vintage-inspired look.
