Brand new in the box! Recording King RPH-R2-MBL – Dirty 30s Single-O Resonator The Recording King RPH-R2-MBL is a wooden resonator guitar in Single-O format from the Dirty 30s series. This model is designed for players who are looking for an authentic, traditional resonator sound in a compact and visually distinctive instrument, without onboard electronics. General description The guitar features a spruce top combined with White Wood sides and back, a construction that delivers a bright, focused tone with strong midrange presence. At the heart of the instrument is a hand-spun 9.5″ Recording King cone, mounted in a pedestal-style soundwell, which provides the classic resonator projection and punch associated with pre-war designs. The biscuit bridge with an ebony/maple saddle ensures a fast attack and direct transfer of string vibration to the cone. The neck is made from nato and shaped in a Contemporary C profile, paired with an ovangkol fingerboard for a comfortable and familiar playing feel. The guitar is finished in the distinctive Matte Blue (MBL) finish, giving it a bold vintage-inspired appearance. Playing experience Thanks to its Single-O body shape, the RPH-R2-MBL is lighter and more compact than many traditional resonator guitars, making it comfortable to play for longer sessions. The sound is raw, articulate, and mid-focused, with excellent clarity for slide work and fingerstyle blues. Without a pickup, this model delivers a purely acoustic resonator experience, ideal for players who value simplicity and traditional tone.
