OVERVIEW OF EKO GUITARS' RESONATOR

In the early decades of the 20th century, the trend for "modern" musicians to play in "ensembles" grew, and the emergence of resophonic guitars corresponded to the increasing need for guitarists to compete, in terms of the sound volume of their instrument, with other powerful-sounding instruments, such as banjos and mandolins, and later with the increasing number of wind instruments in American jazz. The resonator was structured with an ingenious system that involved the insertion of one or more vibrating cones, made of light metal, inside the guitar body. These were attached at the apex to the bridge, performing a function very similar to that of the "cones" of electric loudspeakers. The vibrations, thanks to the direct contact between the strings and the cones, were greatly amplified. The combination of a sound characterized by mid-range frequencies, strong attack, and reduced sustain means that the resophonic guitar excels in fast arpeggios, typical of American rural music. The Resonator by Eko Guitars is built with a Spruce top, laminated Sapeli Mahogany back and sides, Mahogany neck, and a 20-fret South American Roupanà fingerboard. It features an Eko-branded mini-humbucker with Volume and Tone controls, comes in a Glossy finish, with a 43mm nut and a 650mm scale length.
