Classic "biscuit bridge" resonator guitar with built in electric pickup. At this price point, this guitar is unique, as it is fitted with a "Hot Plate" type coverplate with an integral "lipstick" pickup , output jack and tone & volume controls. It's a great way of combining tradition with plug and play convenience. Resonator guitars can be notoriously difficult to amplify, as ordinary piezo pickups usually produce very poor results, and it can be inconvenient to have to close mic with a Shure SM57. A specialist under saddle transducer with an external active pre-amp can give a great sound but at a great price too, so this guitar gives you a real world solution at a real world price. Brass body, polished nickel plated finish, correctly swaged back and flat-cut f-holes. Chunky mahogany neck made with traditional full neck stick and "pit prop" braces between neckstick and back. 12 frets to body. Super-sharp slotted headstock with engraved "Zilpha" logo, satin finished, bound rosewood fretboard with 14 inch radius, medium nickel silver frets, real bone nut (47mm wide), individual open back tuners with metal "butterbean" knobs. Spun and ridged aluminium cone with maple biscuit bridge and saddle. Ftted with "Hot Plate" coverplate with built-in "lipstick" pickup, jack socket and tone & volume controls. Comes complete with lightweight durable "pod" style fabric covered rigid foam case and shoulder strap. These guitars are made exclusively for Chickenbone John Guitars to our specifications in a small workshop in Shanghai. We aim to bring you the best balance of performance, authentic retro appearance and a keen price. The logo is inspired by the Oscar Schmidt Stella guitars of the 1930s, and these guitars bear the name of my daughter, named after her great grandmother.
