Ron Phillips is one of the few custom builders making resonators completely by hand right down to spinning his own cones. This cutaway Parlor design was made popular by Del Rey, one of many fine guitarists who play Phillips resonators. Others include Orville Johnson and the late great, John Jackson. The key element of Phillips resonators is the round attack that is reminiscent of the 1920 Nationals. This guitar has a fat and mellow tone with power to spare. The small body is a joy to hold sitting or standing.
I love this guitar. From the first time I ever played Orville Johnson's Phillips I was a fan. The big, fat trebles that have a round attack are simple lucious. Played slide or finger this is one of the best resonators money can buy. Ron is build very few guitars these days so this is a very rare find as well. 
Great resonator. I love the small body but there is still plenty of power and it plays great. - Accessories
