QR Code Link to This Post
This is a hand-built “Buscuit” resonator guitar in excellent condition.
Republic instruments of Texas are not mass-produced, so they can be hard to come by, but the list of name artists that have played them include Johnny Winter, Bonnie Raitt, David Lindley, Rickey Scaggs, Timothy B. Schmidt, Joe Walsh, Albert Lee & Jackson Browne
this is a RARE example with bookmatched Flame Maple finish and pearled binding. Playability and sound match the quality of the look. No electronicss but Includes original fitted “soft” case. Does have a few minor surface marks on back of guitar that only show in certain light. No way to photograph them. NOT “buckle rash” by any stretch.
These parlor-sized models usually had white binding. This one has the unique and rare green pearloid binding that goes beautifully with the honey-natural finish. You have to see the depth of the wood flaming to believe it!
