The small-bodied Royall Bantam Blazer resonator guitar is not just beautiful to look at, it is extremely comfortable to play and still has that typical high-quality resonator sound.
The Bantam Blazer is a parlour-size, maple-bodied resonator guitar. The magnificent flamed maple body and the neck joining the body at the 14th fret are simply begging to be played on stage. The neck is 46 mm wide at the nut, which allows all playing styles. For stage use, we recommend fitting the USA-RESO magnetic pickup for trouble-free amplification.
The combination of a smaller body with maple gives this model a warm yet compact sound. The biscuit-bridge resonator design and maple wood are both known for powerful reproduction of fundamental tones and controlled upper harmonics. As a result, the Bantam Blazer has a clearly articulated voice that never becomes too harsh in the treble. Thanks to the reduced size of the resonating body, the bass is never overwhelming. This is also a considerable advantage in concert, where it is often the bass that can cause feedback problems.
The luthiers who assemble and set up Royall guitars play resonator guitars themselves. In the Royall workshop, the resonator cones are hand-spun to fit the instruments. Being at the heart of the sound, Royall's hand-spun resonator cones make all the difference. The best quality available!
The Bantam Blazer comes with a lightweight soft case.
