    Description
     
    This wood-body resonator guitar is perfect for backyard bottle slide playing. With its slotted headstock and natural mahogany finish, it has the classic look and feel of the vintage Triolian guitars from the 1930’s, without the marked up price! The larger body shape adds much to its traditional look and exceptional sound. Built with a mahogany top, back, sides, and neck and a hard maple biscuit bridge, this triolian really sings. The 9.5” hand-spun spiral Continental cone resonator provides this triolian with incredible projection and responsive tone. The JR-550 also featuresa rosewood fretboard and a 12th fret neck joint, as well as a modified F-hole soundboard. Add to that inlaid M.O.P position markers, a nickelplated coverplate and tailpiece, and you’ve got a new triolian that leads in tone, features, and value. The Bottle Slide Triolian is also available with a Fishman pickup option. The pickup reproduces an accurate resophonic tone and provides unprecedented resistance to feedback.

    Buy it an PLAY IT! September 26, 2007
    Reviewer: Erik Knudson from albuquerque, NM United States  
    This is the first time I have purchased an instrument online and I am pleased. This guitar is quite nicely made with a nice finish, binding, neck fit, fingerboard and tuners. I even like the fingerboard profile, with it's slight radius, and medium width. The neck back has a V shape and is chunky, but not overly so for an acoustic. Iit has a satin finish...quite playable.
      I play mostly standard tuning slide and finger cords, the first thing I noticed was a lack of sustain, but I've read that this is a characteristic of resonator guitars. Changing the strings to steel wound folk strings helped brighten up the sound. And the tuners are not the best, but they can easily be replaced with better ones. This guitar probably doesn't have the sonic complexity of a resonator priced in the thousands but it is very solid, and impressed me greatly. I was equally impressed with the hardshell case! Very nice!!
