I’m selling my Republic “Delta Rocket” single cone resonator guitar, in nice shiny polished nickel. Set up perfectly for fret or slide playing. Beautiful, authentic resonator tone. This is a newer guitar, has only been played in a smoke-free studio, never gigged or toured, and stored in its case between sessions. It’s in excellent condition with zero fret ware. Includes the original deluxe padded case.
Please, no trades. If you see this listing I still have the guitar.
