My, my, my!  This one talks to you.  We always love the way a woodbody resonator brings together the sweet warmth of mahogany (always a classic tonewood for a design like this) with the cone's throaty, jangly honk.  It should be no surprise then that the superlative materials used by M.J. Franks in the construction of this instrument elevate it above the rest of what's out there--just look at the Sinker Honduras hog!  There's a clarity and downright cleanliness of tone that you just don't see with guitars like this.  Fingerstyle players will immediately notice the unusually full and focused punch along with the surprising level of sensitivity.  For a slide player, the combination of unending sustain and warm, organic tone can't be beat.  With a flatpick in hand, you'll find yourself competing with everything from dreadnoughts to 17" archtops.   

My goal in designing this guitar was to create an instrument with the blended voice of a resonator and the sweet, rich fullness of an acoustic. Play it with a slide, pick or fingerstyle, you will be amazed with its versatility. The top, arched back, sides and neck are constructed of solid tonewoods. The triple-hand-spun Beard Legend™ Cone & Original #14™ Spider Bridge are the finest available. The cover plate and external hardware are plated brass.
