Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Recording King’s RM-998-D is a Style-0 metal-body resonator built around a nickel-plated bell-brass body and a 9.5-inch hand-spun aluminum cone. The resonator layout is described for classic resonator character and strong projection, with the Chickenfoot coverplate defining its Style-0 appearance. A Honduran mahogany neck joins a padauk fretboard, while the hard maple bridge uses an ebony/maple saddle. Its listed 1-3/4-inch nut width and 24-inch scale length give players clear reference points when comparing neck dimensions.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players seeking a nickel-plated metal-body resonator with classic resonator tone and strong projection.
