The Red Hill Resonator Guitar Black is excellent for bluegrass-minded musicians looking for an affordable entry-level model. Thanks to its spider cone construction, the resonator guitar produces a mid-range rich tone that is enriched with a steely note. Furthermore, the laminated tonewoods reduce the overall weight enormously, so that the handling turns out very pleasant. The integrated pickup system also makes the instrument suitable for stage use. The Gitarre is rounded off by a noble high-gloss finish.
A rich midrange sound for authentic bluegrass music
An elaborately crafted Spider-Cone
Construction and woods
Thanks to its construction consisting of a laminated spruce top and a body made of Sapele, the individual notes are developed very clearly and distinctly. Therefore, the maximum sound potential can be extracted from the instrument with the fingers as well as with picks. The grippy mahogany neck also allows a comfortable grip in all frets and playing with a slide, or bottleneck.
Chrome-plated machine heads for precise tuning
Hardware and Design
To ensure precise intonation, the nut and saddle hidden in the cone are matched to each other with millimetre precision. Chrome-plated die-cast tun ers also guarantee precise Tuning of the 6 steel strings. The walnut fingerboard has dot inlays to help the player find his way around. The individual components of the body are surrounded by a multilayer binding.
I was very pleasantly surprised by the overall sound and feel of this guitar. Because I was working with a limited budget my expectations were also limited but this instrument ticked all the boxes. Packaging was secure and delivery was prompt. I have paid substantially more for resonators in the past but this one proved exceptional value for money. Buy with confidence!!! 👍
