Acoustic Instruments – Leadmusic https://leadmusic.com/en Tue, 23 Jun 2026 17:06:51 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.6.17 2012 National Reso-Tone Electric Resophonic https://leadmusic.com/en/produit/2012-national-reso-tone-electric-resophonic/ Tue, 23 Jun 2026 17:01:54 +0000 https://leadmusic.com/?post_type=produit&p=41602 Oh, what a marvel we have here! The idea of amplifying a resonator guitar has crossed the minds of countless musicians, of course, but in 2010, National took things a step further with a model line (discontinued in 2020) that truly broke new ground: a solid-body electric resonator. What a blast! The Reso-Tone is a genuine crossover instrument, offering a truly unique sonic experience, or rather, a sonic revelation. More than just a guitar with a distinctive personality, this little American-made gem combines the unmistakable character of a National resonator with the versatility of an electric guitar. Warm and articulate, it delivers a precise attack and boasts an absolutely one-of-a-kind look.

Construction is delightfully straightforward, almost rustic, yet flawlessly executed. The lightweight alder body, maple neck and rosewood radiused fingerboard with pearl dot inlays make for a simple but highly effective recipe, take note, Fender! The original frets are in excellent condition and provide outstanding playability. A bone nut, 1 3/4″ nut width and a slightly flattened oval neck profile lend the instrument a vintage feel while maintaining thoroughly modern comfort. Comfort is not always the strongest point of resonator guitars, but this one is genuinely a pleasure to play. Compact and lightweight, it offers excellent freedom of movement and remarkable playing comfort.

The Lollar “Special” Telecaster-style neck pickup gives the guitar a sweet, clear vintage voice when amplified. Its intermediate mounting position avoids excessive muddiness and overdrive. Fitted with a wound G string (highly recommended), the overall tone becomes wonderfully swingy and evokes the character of 1950s semi-hollow guitars. It doesn’t exactly sound like a traditional resonator guitar, but it also departs from the typical solid-body voice, allowing some of the cone’s harmonics to subtly shine through the pickup.

This 2012 instrument belonged to an excellent guitarist and comes to us in outstanding condition, with no dings, scratches or signs of wear. It is supplied with its original hard case and accompanying paperwork.

Taylor Next Generation Builder’s Edition 514ce https://leadmusic.com/en/produit/taylor-next-generation-builders-edition-514ce/ Fri, 29 May 2026 09:54:24 +0000 https://leadmusic.com/?post_type=produit&p=41381 Featuring a unique combination of Sitka spruce and responsibly sourced Shamel ash, this Builder’s Edition Grand Auditorium offers an enticing blend of focused midrange tone and exceptional playing comfort. The pairing of spruce and Shamel ash delivers a woody, dry response with controlled overtones and remarkable warmth, resonance and sustain thanks to the scalloped V-Class bracing inside, while our long-tenon Action Control Neck adds more low-end presence while making it easy to dial in the perfect string height for any playing style or scenario. Performing players will appreciate the ease and broad utility of the Claria undersaddle pickup system, which features soundhole-mounted Volume, Mid-contour and Tone controls.

The Next Generation Builder’s Edition 514ce sports a beveled armrest, matching cutaway and chamfered body edges for a truly intimate, seamless feel, with ultra-precise Gotoh 510 tuning machines to cap the player-friendly feature package. Visual details include a single-ring Italian acrylic rosette, matching Compass inlays, a firestripe pickguard and a gloss finish with a natural top and a Kona Burst on the back, sides, and neck. Sourced from city trees in need of removal, Shamel ash produces midrange power and balance comparable to Honduran mahogany. Building on Taylor’s legacy of easy-playing necks, the new Action Control Neck pairs a long-tenon joint for added warmth and depth with a patented system for effortless string height adjustment.

Our beveled cutaway design provides a more player-friendly feel for guitarists who utilize every inch of the fretboard. It features a compound design with a smoothened edge along the corner of the body between the end of the cutaway and the neck heel, providing a more comfortable feel for the fretting hand.

Taylor 2026 Catch Custom C24ce Shaded Edgeburst https://leadmusic.com/en/produit/taylor-2026-catch-custom-c24ce-shaded-edgeburst/ Tue, 26 May 2026 15:02:32 +0000 https://leadmusic.com/?post_type=produit&p=41302 Beauty, wonder, sheer magnificence… you know the kind. This Taylor 2026 Catch Custom #2 C24ce was one of the most breathtaking masterpieces unveiled by the brand at the NAMM Show 2026. Taylor’s iconic Grand Auditorium body shape, featuring a Venetian cutaway and scalloped V-Class bracing, delivers the perfect balance of playing comfort, projection, and rich tonal dynamics. Wrapped in a dark and elegant Shaded Edgeburst finish, the koa top of the 2026 Catch Custom #2 C24ce enhances the premium character of this 6-string with gorgeous natural figuring and a bright, punchy voice. The 4-piece Indian rosewood back, paired with a figured koa Simons wedge, adds deep bass response and rich harmonic resonance.

Equipped with Taylor’s proprietary Action Control neck joint system, the neotropical mahogany neck and Crelicam ebony fingerboard provide an exceptional feeling of control from the very first notes. On stage as well as in the studio, the 2026 Catch Custom #2 C24ce also stands out thanks to Taylor’s premium Claria System electronics, ensuring an incredibly faithful and natural reproduction of the instrument’s sound.

This guitar is also loaded with refined details from headstock to bridge: figured koa accents adorn the headstock logo, backstrap, tuner buttons, and the body and fingerboard purfling. The whole package is completed by a comfortable beveled armrest, bone bridge pins with Australian green opal inlays, a highly variegated unmarked ebony fingerboard, an ebony headstock veneer, and a rosewood/koa Roman Leaf rosette.

This Taylor 2026 Catch Custom #2 C24ce features a stunning figured Hawaiian koa top paired with a magnificent Indian rosewood back and sides. As a tonewood, koa is renowned for its bright and lively tonal response. And beyond its sound, koa is also one of the most visually striking woods commonly used on 6-string guitars, a reputation this C24ce fully lives up to with its rich red and brown hues crossed by dramatic black grain lines. While koa tops are usually paired with koa back and sides, this Catch Custom breaks tradition with its gorgeous 4-piece Indian rosewood back. Beyond its remarkable aesthetics, tonewood enthusiasts especially appreciate how the rosewood complements the focused nature of koa with complex harmonics, deep lows, and crisp, articulate highs.

Built in Taylor’s Grand Auditorium cutaway shape, the brand’s most versatile and popular format, the 2026 Catch Custom #2 C24ce offers comfortable, all-purpose playability supported by full-bodied lows, rich mids, and sparkling trebles. Inside, Taylor’s exclusive scalloped V-Class bracing ensures powerful projection, remarkable intonation, and exceptional sustain, showcasing every tonal nuance of this Catch Custom with studio-grade precision.
