The Dirty 30s Minnie Bucker: A Modern Take on Classic Resonator Soul
Step into the world of authentic blues with Recording King's latest masterpiece - the Dirty 30s Minnie Bucker Resonator in stunning Wabash Blue. This innovative instrument masterfully blends traditional resonator craftsmanship with modern electronics, creating a versatile powerhouse for both acoustic and electric players. At its heart lies a premium hand-spun European Recording King cone, measuring 9.5 inches, which delivers the throaty, honky tonality that resonator aficionados crave. The compact Single-O body style, combined with a strategically designed pedestal soundwell and 12-fret neck joint, ensures optimal resonance while maintaining exceptional portability.
The guitar's voice begins with a carefully selected spruce top, complemented by whitewood back and sides. The comfortable Contemporary C-shaped nato neck joins the body with a traditional dovetail joint, hosting an ovangkol fretboard with 20 total frets (12 clear). The neck dimensions strike a perfect balance with a 25.4-inch scale length and a comfortable 1-11/16-inch nut width, while vintage-style tuners with classic plastic buttons ensure stable tuning.
What truly sets this instrument apart is its innovative mini humbucker pickup, which can deliver everything from subtle swampy overtones to full-throttle blues crunch. This electric capability doesn't compromise the acoustic integrity of the instrument - thanks to the biscuit bridge design and expert construction, the Minnie Bucker sounds just as impressive unplugged as it does through an amplifier.
