Internationally known, Grammy-nominated player Phil Leadbetter developed a lyrical tone completely his own, over countless bluegrass recordings and performances. He won IBMA's Dobro Player of the Year multiple times and is an Atlanta Country Music Hall of Fame inductee. Recording King is honored to be working with Phil and his family to build the Phil Leadbetter Signature Model.

The wood body squareneck resonator is constructed of highly flamed maple, and features an interior bracing pattern specifically guided and chosen by Phil himself. Recording King's European hand-spun spider cone beautifully complements the sandcast spider bridge, for a truly professional-level sound that can be heard on Phil's recordings and on numerous live shows memorialized on video or on record.

Phil's signature can be found inlaid in pearl at the 12th fret, and his sonic stamp is found in every detail of the guitar.
