## Description

Modeled after the original, pre-World War II guitars, these bell brass resonators are the foremost affordable, metal body guitars on the market. Made from bell brass, they have incredible projection and impeccable tone. The plating quality is truly excellent. The Recording King Style-O features a 9.5" hand-spun Continental cone, a Honduran mahogany neck and a hard maple bridge. From professional artists to beginners, these resonators have made a huge impression on players.

Review: Good value and a good sound - First off this guitar is not a National Reso-Phonic. It is also 1/6th the price. But it is a very nice guitar for the money. The guitar I received has a very nicely made body with no obvious flaws. When I received the guitar the strings were slack, so I tuned it to open D and adjusted the truss rod. The fretwork on the vintage style frets was also very good. The only issue it had was a little bit of a rough finish on the neck. A little 0000 steel wool took care of that. The sound is loud and perfect for delta type blues. You can also get the Mark Knopfler thing going too. I own guitars in all price ranges including a Regal, a Martin D-28 and a Taylor 814. This is a very nice instrument, especially at the price asked.
