Description

We feel pretty confident saying that Ron Phillips has mastered his craft. These boutique-built resonators are well polished diamonds, every one, and this 2006 Tricone with a cutaway shines so bright. German Silver construction throughout with Flame Koa bindings over a Flame Maple neck; Waverly tuners; art deco-inspired aesthetics throughout the build. 12 frets to the body with a tricone resonator setup makes for a sweet, warm, intimate voice that’s a far cry from the shrill, smack-in-the-face tone of other metalbody resos. This beauty has gears. This is the first R.E. Phillips we’ve had in the shop featuring a cutaway—and we’re glad to have it! Not only does the Florentine point look great, it really affords the player uncompromised access for work at the top of the fretboard. This one is currently set up for slide work.

Here's a custom resonator tricone from Ron Phillips! Handmade with a German Silver body and a florentine cutaway, and the added sweetness and lushness of the tricone resonator setup.
