Members kr236rk Posted January 3, 2008 Members Share Posted January 3, 2008 Hi, like to experiment with that resinator sound, so looking for a 'first buy' type instrument - maybe something from Korea - since i hear the quality there is quite reliable nowadays? i know there is the Eastwood Delta 6 electric [kool or what?], but what about acoustic or electro-acoustic resinators, please? thanks R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members totamus Posted January 3, 2008 Members Share Posted January 3, 2008 I bought a Rogue resonator from Musicians friend for $199 just to play around with. Good sound, good quality. Great guitar for the price... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will make a difference as to whether to go with a biscuit or spider bridge. well, i really like that Delta Blues sound - so while i'm taken with the Delta-6, this is going to give more of a Chicago type, electric blues sound? there are a lot of resonators on the market at the moment but - surfing around - a lot of 'buyer beware' comments also: i know nothing about this guitar type, so thought i'd pass it by you guys?

Members rjoxyz Posted January 3, 2008 Members Share Posted January 3, 2008 My wife bought a Johnson biscuit resonator as a Christmas present for me. I'm no resonator authority (I'm in your shoes), having never owned one. The tone seems legit fingerpicked--I can't play slid at all. Fit and finish is decent, but nothing to brag about. If I'm not mistaken, the Rogue resonators are "rebadged" Johnsons. Mine is a dead ringer for the Rogue Triolian from Musician's Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R 'K, you probably should be looking at a biscuit bridge. They are, IMO, going to give you more down and dirty rasp than a spider. Another one to look at is the Epiphone Biscuit. A pretty good player and a decent price though more than a Rogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
