Hartwood Resonator Parlour Guitar, Tobacco - Secondhand

Full Description

Classic resonator sound, built for today

This isn’t just about vintage looks - it’s about capturing that raw, unmistakable resonator tone in a guitar that feels ready for anything. The guitar's single cone delivers the dry, punchy voice resonators are known for, giving you sharp attack and strong midrange presence - perfect for slide, fingerpicking, or rhythm work. Whether you're chasing delta blues, bluegrass or folk textures, this guitar nails the sound with ease.

Enhanced natural projection

The combination of an all-mahogany body, bone nut and an ebony bridge gives this parlour sized resonator great acoustic projection and sustain. It cuts through naturally when played unplugged, making it great for mic’ing up in the studio or casual playing sessions. The reduced parlour size also makes this resonator ideal for gigging, weighing in at just 2kg.

Retro aesthetic with a worn-in vibe

The tobacco finish, paired with aged metal hardware, gives the guitar a look that feels lived-in from day one. It’s a subtle nod to the golden age of resonators - guitars that travelled, got played and told stories. This Hartwood model captures that spirit while being gig-ready right out of the case. From the coverplate to the tuners, every detail has been chosen to reflect that classic style.

Comfortable feel, stable tuning

While traditional resonators can sometimes be tricky to handle, this one’s built to feel familiar to the modern player. A soft C shaped satin mahogany neck and laurel fingerboard give you smooth, fast fretting, whether you’re playing chords or sliding up the neck. A bone nut and vintage-style tuners keep everything stable and responsive, so you spend more time playing and less time tuning. It’s a resonator that fits seamlessly into a modern guitarist’s setup.
