FS: Republic Tricone Resonator £425

Teyeplayer

Back up:
Proper Tricone with a lovely resonant sound at a fraction of the cost of a National. Picked this up earlier in the year during a buying stage, I’m now on a purge with a very specific bit of gas. These have a great reputation for a reason and it really is a lovely guitar. Just back from a set-up by Leicestershire Luthiers, set up for finger style and slide. Odd scuff and ding from age but nothing that impacts playability. I believe this to be a proper bell brass body, coated in a gun metal grey lacquer/paint.

Foibles of this particular guitar are a slightly off centre third fret marker and a tight truss rod channel that has been opened up slightly during its recent set up. Just want to be above board.

Comes in a very tatty lightweight foam case. You’ll probably want to replace it, but it does the job for shipping. Collection from North Northamptonshire just off the A14, or can post at your risk. I believe parcel force 48 are roughly £25.

Got it up for £500 on gumtree, call it £450 for the fretboard. Price drop: £425

Tasty filth, that. It's got me a bit weak at the knees.

Everyone should succumb to the desire for a bit of filth once in a while.

Final bump before I keep this. Just dropped it into conversation that there are gaps that could be filled on the wall.  

The resonator would be number one of the four (illustrated by the purple lines I have scribbled on the image).

Nice semi hollows? there at 3 and 5 (from left.)

That’s a recent-ish Gibson ES345 in the middle. Bigsby B3 and Towner added because what is a guitar without a Bigsby? German made Hofner verythin at the end. It’s had some dodgy relic work on the bridge and tuners so these are due to be changed, with a duesenberg trem waiting to go on.

Truss rod cavity opened and guitar set up by Leicestershire Luthiers. They’ve done a grand job, it plays lovely and I am tempted to keep it.

Back up. My New Year’s resolution is to try a PRS in the year ahead, so I need to raise some guitar tokens.
