A shapely square-shouldered body ensures vintage articulation and playability that’s made for travel, gigs, or simply keeping it within reach and on display in your living space. Meanwhile, a comfortable mahogany neck and padauk fingerboard ensure great playability whether you’re plucking intricate dusty melodies or wailing on your Great Depression-era tune with a slide. This neck is “roundneck” with a curved "C" neck carve, meaning its built for upright play like a traditional 6-string guitar. If you prefer a resonator that’s played lap style, Recording King also offers this same instrument in a squareneck style.Mahogany delivers tight tonal focus! The Maxwell Roundneck Resonator features a stylish hand-spun spider resonator cone for pure, rich tone. But of course, a resonator needs excellent sound to amplify which is why the Maxwell features a wealth of premium mahogany tonewood onboard. Mahogany sides, back, and top yield tight tonal focus with knife-like midrange that’s perfect for cutting through a dense band or mix. Mahogany also produces excellent sustain that slide-style players are sure to appreciate. Sweetwater players are especially impressed with the Maxwell’s pairing of mahogany with a square-shouldered body shape. Together with dual grille holes and interior bracing carved from Sitka spruce, the square-shoulder shape tightens and defines the Maxwell’s tone . . . to the max!Recording King: retro refreshed The landmark Recording King brand traces its origins back to 1930s building contracts with the retail titan Montgomery Ward. During the early days of radio and recorded music, affordable but well-crafted Recording King guitars, banjos, and resonators swept across the nation far and wide. Now revived, Recording King hearkens back to those early days of production-line American instruments built for pros and budding musicians alike. Nearly a century later, these retro models take their cues from vintage designs for results that look and sound like their 1930s counterparts.Recording King Maxwell Roundneck Resonator Guitar Features: Comfortable square-shouldered body shape yields good volume with stronger definition than a round-shouldered body Large European hand-spun spider cone with parallelogram soundwell ensures powerful tone with excellent projection 12th-fret neck joint means a more relaxed string feel Gloss-finished back, top, and sides built from mahogany deliver a tight, focused voice with minimal overtones — great for ensembles, bands, and recording!
