WEST END Nickel – 14-Fret Metal Body Single Cone Resonator Guitar

The ROYALL WEST END Nickel is a 14-fret metal body single-cone resonator guitar built for blues, bottleneck slide, fingerstyle and roots music. Its bell-brass body and 9.5-inch hand-spun aluminum cone deliver the direct attack, projection and metallic character associated with a classic biscuit-bridge resonator.

Sound & Character

The single-cone system gives WEST END an immediate, focused response, while the bell-brass body adds a distinctive metallic voice and harmonic character. The 14-fret neck joint also provides easier access to the upper register than a traditional 12-fret design.
