A great opportunity for Bluegrass fans
)
Harley Benton instruments are known for combining solid quality with accessible prices, making them a suitable choice for beginners and musicians on a tighter budget, and the Custom Line King ResoKing BK Resonator Guitar continues this approach. Its single-cut basswood body features a detailed resonator insert and resonator bridge, giving the instrument the distinctive character associated with traditional Bluegrass, while the mini humbucker and piezo pickups provide versatile amplification options and the chrome-plated die-cast machine heads ensure reliable tuning stability and allow different tunings to be set up with ease. A slim C-profile and generous cutaway round off the comfortable playing feel of the maple neck with its laurel fingerboard, providing plenty of freedom for expressive Bluegrass playing.

Traditional sound
Solid woods have long been valued for their warm, resonant, and nuanced tonal character, which is why the ResoKing BK features a solid basswood body finished in high-gloss black. The single-cone resonator with resonator bridge delivers the distinctive character associated with traditional Bluegrass while complementing the naturally warm tone of the basswood, with its striking appearance adding a distinctive touch on stage. The dependable die-cast machine heads make changing between different tunings straightforward, while the set maple neck with its slim C-profile and laurel fingerboard allows precise fingering and provides a comfortable playing feel. Alongside its impressive acoustic volume, the ResoKing BK also offers flexible amplification options thanks to its humbucker and piezo pickups, whose signals can be combined and blended via the tone control.

The combination of solid woods, reliable die-cast machine heads, and two pickups provides a versatile setup with plenty of traditional Bluegrass character, while also making the instrument suitable for more experienced guitarists seeking an unusual second instrument. Its distinctive construction and tonal character make the Custom Line King ResoKing BK a practical choice for use at home, on stage, or in the studio.
