Royall #220372 FS 199 “Bessie” Aged Copper Singlecone Resonator Guitar

Description

Introducing the “Bessie” into our new Fundamental Series. We use a large 12 fret Triolian AFI body, with classic “F” holes. The slightly shorter scale, large body, and new 30g hand spun cone provide an even larger sound than we anticipated. She is a musical powerhouse.

We are sure you will love the new tone from Royall Resonators. All of our resonators go through a 20 point inspection by our skilled guitar techs before shipment. After inspection, and or adjustment, we double polish the frets, condition the fingerboard, stretch the strings, and tune to pitch. Giving you a wonderfully smooth action and playability right out of the box.

Our all new Royall Fundamental Series (FS) is our stripped down non pickup collection of resonator guitars. All the same fit and finish of our Standard Series (ST) customers have come to love, but with a few less bells and whistles. We have decided on a simple reverse open book headstock design, simple dot inlays, (with one classic star) and in keeping it real around here, being that the resonator is the first amp in a guitar itself, they are all non pickup models. Back to the beauty of acoustic sound with minimalist attitude.

All of the resonators we make in our shop have their own individual character. With different relic looks for the same finish, or the dark or light fingerboards, we want you to be able to choose the one that best suits your needs. Therefore, all of our resonators are individually photographed with their Royall serial number in the listed tag. The instrument in the numbered listing is the exact one you will receive.
