Features three 6" continental cones that transfer incredibly loud tones through the body of the guitar. The cones are positioned with two on the bass side and one on the treble side giving an EQ with a sweeter warmer sound .
It featues a screen coverplate and T shaped bridge wth an ebony and maple saddle. The bridge is connected to the centre of each cone so that when the strings are hit the vibrations run through the saddle then onto the bridge.
This tricone has distinct tone and long sustain characteristics by brilliant overtones and a natural ambience only found in resonators.
The resonator has a nickel plated bell brass with a Wild Roses engraving on the front,back and sides.The neck is mahogany with a rosewood fingerboard.
