HOBO Horizon – 12-Fret Wood Body Single Cone Resonator Guitar

The ROYALL HOBO Horizon is a 12-fret wood body single-cone resonator guitar designed for blues, bottleneck slide, fingerstyle and roots music. Built around a 9.5-inch hand-spun aluminum cone and biscuit-bridge resonator system, it combines a traditional 12-fret layout with the acoustic character of a wood-body resonator.

Sound & Character

The single-cone system provides a direct, responsive attack with clear note definition, while the wood body contributes its own acoustic character around the resonator cone. The 12-fret layout keeps the instrument close to a traditional resonator format.
