Recording King MG10 RM-998R metal resonator guitar Hawaii

General

The Recording King MG10 is a metal resonator guitar that is based on the original pre-war resonators by a brand called National, but they come at a much more budget-friendly price. The resonator's typically loud and bright sound is created by a metal cone inside the guitar's body, which resonates with the vibrations of the guitar strings, and amplifies their sound. It's a very popular sound that is often found in bluegrass and blues music. So grab your bottleneck and go for the Recording King MG10 resonator guitar!

Recording King MG10: made of high-quality materials

The MG10's body is made of high-quality brass that is also used to make musical bells, and which is entirely chrome-plated. Inside this Style-O resonator's body, you'll find a real 9.5-inch cone by Continental, made of hand-spun aluminium. That cone gives this guitar its unbelievable projection and its impeccably rich tone. Furthermore, the coverplate is beautifully finished with small sound holes in diamond-shaped patterns, as well as two classic F-style sound holes.

Round-neck resonator guitar

Contrary to a square neck resonator guitar that you play on your lap or on a table, the Recording King MG10 features a comfortable round neck made of Honduras mahogany. This allows you to play it while standing up, and adds some warmth to the overall sound. The bridge, meanwhile, is made of hard maple to allow for tight, bright notes. Finally, a set of high-quality self-lubricating tuners and the vintage-style Recording King logo on the headstock complete the picture.
