Resonator Guitar Question?

August 02nd, 2011 | Category: Resonator Guitars

i want to buy a resonator guitar, but i have a couple questions. i know that they can be played on your lap like a steel guitar, but is it possible to play it like a normal guitar?? and if so, what kind of sound does it make? i already have an accoustic guitar, so would buying one be pointless??

those are the ones im deciding between^^

thanks in advance

    What is best for playing slide guitar?

    July 19th, 2011 | Category: Resonator Guitars

    I play guitar and have several electrics and acoustics. I play metal so of course the action is very low on all of them. I also have bluegrass roots and am interested in playing a slide guitar without altering my acoustics action. I also lay my guitar on my lap and play it. But I want to get something dedicated to slide. So what would you recommend out of the following, or any other suggestions and why?

    1. Resonator guitar (dobro)
    2. Lap steel
    3. A new acoustic and raise the action.

    Also, if you say dobro, square neck or round neck and why?
    What are brands you suggest for whatever you chose? Do you have links for them.

    Would like to stay in 0 – 0 range.

      The first fret of my guitar is really tense, what should I do?

      April 22nd, 2011 | Category: Resonator Guitars

      The guitar is over a year old and I thinking it might be the guitar nut. I’ve never had to deal with these except for my Spanish-acoustics, but I’ve never had any problem with those.

      The thing is I need to press way too hard on the strings on the first fret to play the notes. Should I send it to the repair shop or is it something I could check on my own?

      The guitar in question is an acoustic steel string resonator.
