Description

Arguably the first true Heavy Metal instruments, resophonic guitars made of either brass or steel, created an entirely new instrument category with one intention…more volume! The added benefit of more volume combines with a never-before-heard sound took the musical instrument market by storm. So popular that metal body instruments were selected as the guitar of choice for many a Ragtime, Jazz, and Blues soloist…and the same holds true today.

  • Authentic steel Duolian body in brushed nickel plate provides classic prewar tone and lasting beauty
