Barnes and Mullins Resonator Guitar

The Barnes and Mullins BMR300 resonator guitar is the perfect instrument to begin or continue your foray into authentic blues and bluegrass guitar playing.

This classy parlour size resonator guitar features a beautiful satin spruce top matched with an open pore mahogany back and sides and a single cone, biscuit bridge resonator design with a chrome resonator cover and hardware. The top pairs two f-holes with three circular soundholes for a traditional and stylish aesthetic.

A mahogany 'round-neck' and walnut fingerboard meet a slotted headstock with open geared lyra machineheads, completing the BMR300's 'old-time' look and feel.

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.
