Versoul Reso Sun Baritone 12 2014
The Versoul Reso Sun 12 merges the shimmering resonance of a 12-string with the bold, brassy character of a resonator guitar. Crafted from premium tonewoods—solid European spruce top paired with East Indian rosewood or European curly maple back and sides, this instrument channels the commanding voice of a National-style cone.
The East Indian rosewood fingerboard and Finnish aspen-maple neck deliver responsive playability, while distinctive design elements like the Versoul tailpiece and gold leaf-plated resonator coverplate with sunbeam soundholes showcase modern Scandinavian craftsmanship infused with classic resonator spirit. A guitar that sounds as striking as it looks.
