000-12 Resonator Guitar



This is a 12 fret 000 sized flat top steel string resonator guitar. The design of this model differs from a more typical resonators. The soundhole is oval, replacing the traditional screened ports or "F" holes. Also the internal bracing was modified in such a way that the top is free to resonate in the waist and upper bout in addition to the lower bout. These changes result in a voice which is quite unique.
