Republic Resolian Parlour Size Resonator Raw Copper 2013
Republic Resolian, raw copper finish, made in Korea 2013. Republic is based out of Texas, offering modern takes on the classic 1920s Dobro and National models. The guitars are made in Korea to a very high standard. It's unusual to get a parlour sized body in the reso genre, but it's a super fun combo: small, comfy, super punchy sound. The 12th fret join, slotted headstock and rubbed up copper finish makes for a cool look too, it's very old-world-chic. The body is made from bell brass, so this is super loud with heaps of punch and a musical warmth and zing. This is a lot of fun and sounds awesome, you're in for a good time.
