Custom woods and hardware elevate this surprisingly versatile resonator from one of the most highly regarded of veteran builders.

Sometimes all it takes is an inspiring new sound to open up novel creative possibilities. This custom R model captures the magic of a ‘30s dobro, but in a more modern sounding, round-neck format. This guitar has a rich warmth when fingerpicked lightly, and takes on a vibrant, midrange growl when you dig in with a medium attack. It is a big, engaging sound, to be sure. The aesthetic is very sharp, too, with f holes and custom black hardware in a Celtic knot pattern nicely complementing the natural, bear-claw spruce top.

If you are looking to expand your tonal palette for stage, studio, or just shaking up the home stable, this uniquely styled, wood-bodied resonator may well be your ticket.

Note: The video shows a different R model. Please contact us for an in-hand description of ours!
