Thread Name: acoustic or resonator guitar?
Subject: RE: acoustic or resonator guitar?
I recently became interested in a resonator guitar (wood body rather than steel). Not specifically for blues, but to explore the different sounds that it makes. Rather than drop a months salary on a Gibson Hound Dog or National I bought a pre driven cheap Johnson. I immediately replaced the tuners with some Grovers, replaced the beer can cone with a Quatermann, adjusted the action. It now sounds superb. I'm becoming quite attached to the resonator and might consider upgrading down the road. BTW, I also own a Taylor. That is one sweet guitar.
