Johnson Swamp Stomper Resonator Guitar with Pickup Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been shopping for a resonator for a long time, but I really wanted one that would plug in without alteration. For only 300 hundred bucks, this is a good quality and great sounding resonator. I plugged this in and it sounds great. It is not as brassy and twangy as the metal body models, but I like that. A great instrument which has already given me hours of pleasure and renewed my energy and interest in writing and performing traditional music. I haven't actually held and played the Jay Turser, the Oscar Schmidt, or Fender models. One thing is, those other models are hard to find in guitar stores, a limited market for resonators. I don't like the way the Jay Turser and Fender models look. The lines on the Turser are too hinky and the Fender looks too much like a cheap cigar box. This guitar is very understated and elegant, but will scream if you put a slide on it. I play with a 30 watt Line 6 spider 3 amp and there are some great warm or sleazy crunches you can get! Fun fun fun. I played one of these at an awesome guitar store in Ellensburg, Washington and I fell in love. Just didn't want to make the hour and a half drive back to Ellensburg to buy it. The quality and finish of this instrument are excellent.

Regal Duolian Resonator Polychrome Guitar RC-1 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am a musician in E Texas with a 3piece string band. I have been playing resonators for about 15 years, mainly open tuned slide blues. I really can't afford a high end National or Beard, so I've made due with what I could afford. Out of respect for others I won't mention the names of the resos I've tried, but I will say that this one is, in my opinion, an exceptional value! Loud, sweet, clear and dirty when when you need it! I added an Allen tail piece and new strings, and I can tell you honestly.....this guitar is a HOSS! The sound is awsome and it looks stunning! I highly recommend this guitar! Don't see how anyone could go wrong at this price! Try one, you won't be disapointed!
Sincerely,
Nolan

Dobro DWHOUNDRN Hound Dog Round Neck, Brown Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)While I visited Nashville a few weeks ago I went to a few of the local guitar shops and played quite a few resonator guitars. Many were used (as early as 1927!!) and were classics in their own right and came with price tags of at least $650 and most much more. All had great tone as expected for the asking price. One of my stops, of course, was at Gibson's Showcase store there and I played more than one of these new Dobro Hound Dogs for quite a long while inside their soundproof booth so I would have no distractions. I was very impressed with it's overall physical and sonic quality, especially considering the asking price. I would have purchased one immediately if it had not been for the facts that I'd be traveling back home by airplane and I was also really wanting to try a resonator guitar with a pickup and one was not available, at least in the time I had left in Nashville (one day). The Gibson store told me I could always buy one from them and have it shipped for $35 so I didn't feel it necessary to buy one right away. I still haven't finished trying out other resonator guitars yet but this guitar is still a strong contender!!
