Description

Why should I buy a resonator guitar?

This Barnes & Mullins BMR300 resonator guitar is a great choice if you’re a guitarist who is venturing into blues and bluegrass styles, or equally, if you’re experienced in these areas of music and want a great-quality resonator guitar to add to your collection.

This versatile instrument can be tuned to various tunings suitable for blues, slide guitar, dobro and bluegrass styles, or simply to standard guitar tuning if you’re someone who wants to give your favourite riffs and licks that authentic blues and folk sound.

Tonally, you can expect a naturally loud and articulate sound, and due to its shared resonator design characteristics with the banjo, the BMR300 delivers a distinctive banjo-esque mid / high range metallic assertiveness guaranteed to give your playing a truly authentic bluesy vibe. The combination of spruce and mahogany body tonewoods add a wonderful warmth, while the soundholes further ensure excellent volume and provide a well-rounded low-end.
