WAYS TO PAY:
Resonator guitars were originally developed in the 1920s to address the challenge of acoustic guitars being overpowered by brass and percussion in larger ensembles. The Johnson 999 carries this tradition forward, using traditional resonator technology to amplify sound naturally without the need for electronics. This makes it a great choice for musicians looking for a louder acoustic presence and a distinctive sound, particularly in blues and bluegrass styles.
Johnson Resonator Guitars are known for offering high-quality resonators at exceptional value. The company offers a wide variety of options in terms of body materials, cone configurations, and finishes, allowing players to find a resonator guitar that suits their specific playing style and tonal preferences. The Johnson 999 is an excellent example of this craftsmanship.
A key feature of the Johnson 999 is its Tricone design, which consists of three smaller cones connected by a T-bar under the bridge. This setup delivers a smoother, more balanced tone compared to single-cone resonators. The Tricone configuration also provides extended sustain and richer harmonic overtones, making this guitar more versatile across genres, from traditional blues to more contemporary styles.
The brass body of the Johnson 999 offers a rich, warm tone that emphasises midrange frequencies, providing a mellow yet resonant sound. The brass construction contributes to the instrument's robust tone, while still retaining the distinctive voice that resonator guitars are known for. This balance between warmth and projection makes it an ideal choice for musicians who need a resonator with both clarity and depth.
The satin-finished Mahogany neck, paired with a Rosewood fingerboard, ensures smooth playability. With a 46mm bone nut and a 25.5-inch scale length, the Johnson 999 feels familiar and comfortable for most guitarists, whether they are playing slide or fretting chords. This combination of high-quality materials and thoughtful design makes the Johnson 999 an excellent choice for players seeking a versatile and expressive resonator guitar.
