.44 SPECIAL™
Resonator Guitar

The .44 SPECIAL fills a unique space in the
Terraplane Resonator Guitar Company lineup.

The all brass body incorporates a muting system (pat. pending) consisting of two tunable bass reflex ports. The muting system can be employed when the guitar is amplified, thereby reducing low frequencies and unwanted overtones which can cause feedback.

The .44 SPECIAL is available in either round or squareneck, all acoustic, or with a custom designed Jason Lollar pickup.

Pickup hum is a thing of the past due to inside the body pickup coils coupled with the great shielding properties of these all brass guitars.

The special brass alloy used to fabricate these instruments creates a big warm tone. No other resonator guitar has the bass response of a .44 SPECIAL.
