Inspired by classic blues legends, Recording King's Rattlesnake Resonator Guitar is a vintage-inspired masterpiece that pays homage to a legendary tradition - placing a rattlesnake rattle inside the instrument for added musical magic.

Crafted with meticulous precision, this guitar embodies vintage tone and vibe while meeting modern players' demands for reliability. The hand-spun European Recording King cone provides world-class resonator tone and volume, and the open pedestal-style soundwell creates a uniquely broad sonic palette. Soundposts support the soundwell circle, allowing cone vibrations to resonate freely within the body, resulting in an open, thick mid-range sound.

Featuring a removable handrest for quick adjustment, bone nut, and high-quality tuning machines, this resonator guitar exudes vintage charm. All that's left to add is the actual snake rattle for true vintage mojo. With its distinctive tone and exceptional versatility spanning folk, blues, country, and more, it's an essential addition to any musician's collection.

The best-selling Recording King Rattlesnake Resonator is available in Vintage Sunburst (-VS), Vintage Brown (-BR), and with a factory-installed Fishman Nashville pickup (E-VS) for electric blues players. The passive Fishman Nashville pickup can deliver clear, musical tone or dive into gritty territory as you dig into the strings and increase your amp volume.
