Description
A couple of years ago we decided to build some small body “parlor” or “0” size resonators, just for our own amusement, like most of the things we do around here. Well, they turned out to be much cooler than we were expecting, really fun to play, with a unique punchy sound that’s much fuller than we would have guessed. The “Parlorator” model became kind of a big seller for us.
This Royall Parlorator Maple cutaway has a natural matte finish to let that tiger striped maple grain show through in all of its glory. Now with the access to the upper frets with a 14 fret neck, and smooth cutaway, this model gives the player easy access to the high fret slide solo. We designed our parlor cutaways with an extra inch on the upper bout. This gives a well rounded rich full sound from a cutaway parlor.

Robert Stanley –
Great Little Guitar! The Parlorator Flame Maple Cutaway resonator is a beautiful piece of workmanship and has a great feel. The neck is straight and the rosewood fingerboard has a 16″ radius which is matched by the biscuit bridge. The flame maple body is resonant, despite its small size, and the resonator components (biscuit cone, biscuit bridge and sieve cover plate with pickup, controls and output jack) all fit and work together perfectly. The addition of a padded case and a leather strap make this the best bargain on the market! Seriously, I don’t know how these guys do it, but do yourself a favor and try a Royal Resonator!
