Originally posted by MarkJerling I like resonator guitars, though to many it is an acquired taste (like bagpipes?)
my first was a used regal I picked up in shop in north Carolina
it has a nice enough voice that it covers up my crap playing
when I saw my first chrome-plated bell brass resonator my inner magpie kicked in and I was in lust
then I read an interview with a bluesman who said he used metal guitars because in the inevitable bar fight he had a reliable instrument/weapon that wouldn't fail him at an inconvenient moment
frankly...I was hooked
one Christmas I got a very heavy and very large box full of joy...
