Bob's wrong. I DON'T know all the answers. But I sure love askin' questions!

Went to the 12th Fret this morning and played 6 Resophonic guitars, ranging from very expensive National to cheap Regal. Not ONE played perfectly in tune. The best was the cheapest Regal. Since these will all get sold over the next few weeks or months, it means that most folks just accept the intonation discrepancies....and probably some don't even notice.

I've owned several resophonics, from a '29 Tricone to my current fave, a '30 Regal resophonic acoustic lap steel. I've tried everything to get the intonation better, with negligable results. Dave's right...don't use a tuner. You gotta 'finesse it a bit to even get it close. I can live with it though...'cause I love the SOUND!
