Busker Cannon

Guide Price £381

The Busker Cannon is a wood-bodied parlor size single cone resophonic guitar.  It is perfect for travel and busking on the move.  This little lightweight guitar can be played fingerstyle in standard or open tunings, with a bottle neck, or as a lapstyle guitar (using a nut riser).  It has all the volume and tone a fast travelling busker needs - from the London Underground to Himalayan expeditions!

This is one cute reso guitar.

Here's Ron Wall guitar tutor and Busker Guitars' technician checking a Cannon that he has just set-up for a musician in Belgium.

We switched on a Zoom H4 while he was testing the guitar, and here is the result: The Glory of Love
