SPIDER 3 – 14-Fret Wood Body Spider Cone Resonator Guitar

The ROYALL SPIDER 3 is a 14-fret wood body spider-cone resonator guitar with classic F-style soundholes. Its hand-spun aluminum resonator cone and spider-bridge system are designed for a balanced, sustained response with clear note separation.

Sound & Character

The spider-bridge resonator system spreads string vibration across the cone through the spider bridge, creating a different response from a biscuit-bridge single-cone resonator. The 14-fret neck joint provides easier upper-register access.
