Duolian Resonator Guitar - Solid Brass Body - Hawaiian Graphics Early in the history of National resonator guitars their instruments found favour among Hawaiian lap guitar players and so to target that market instruments with Hawaiian Island scenes etched into the body were produced, known as 'Islander' models they first appeared around 1931. So here is our tribute to that tradition with our solid brass body Duolian resonator with Hawaiian Island graphics to the body. The bell brass used for the body imparts a rounder tone than our steel body models. The resonator cone is precision spun on a computer controlled lathe for authentic tone and sustain. The biscuit bridge is solid rosewood and the string saddle is hand made from boxwood, true to early resonator tradition. The mahogany neck has a bound rosewood fretboard with 12 frets to the body, a vintage style slotted headstock with ‘antiqued’ mahogany headplate and 1930s style vintage tuning machines. As with all our resonator models, the guitar is carefully set up in our workshop and fitted with 16-56 gauge 80/20 bronze resonator strings. The action is set at 2.5 - 3mm at the 12th fret, comfortable for both slide and finger picking playing. We don’t believe there is any other resonator guitar of this quality and with these features to be had for the money. Go to view a video performance
