Description

The Royall Bantam Blazer small body resonator guitar is not only cool to look at, it is extremely comfortable to play and still has that typical high-quality resonator sound.
The Bantam Blazer is a maple body resonator guitar in parlor size. The beautiful flamed maple body and the 14th fret body connection are just begging to be played onstage. The neck is 46 mm wide at the nut enabling all playing styles. For onstage use is a Lipstick single coil pickup with volume & tone control installed.
The combination of a smaller body with maple wood provides this model with a warm yet compact sound. Both the biscuit-bridge resonator design and maple wood are known for a powerful reproduction of the fundamental tones and controlled higher overtones. This results in the Bantam Blazer having a clearly articulated voice that never gets too harsh in the treble. Because of the smaller parlor-body size, the lows never become overwhelming either. This is a huge advantage in a live situation as well, where it is often the bass that can cause feedback problems.
The luthiers that set up Royall guitars actually play resonator guitar. In the Royall workshop, the resonator cones are handspun to suit the instruments. Since this is the heart of the sound, the Royall handspun resonator cones make a huge difference. The best quality available! The Bantam Blazer has a lightweight softcase included.
