Electric Resonators

[wriggers]

Hi all

Check this out if you fancy a guitar with a difference. Andy has been making electric resonator guitars for quite a while now. He has created some cracking instruments from parts

Ahh... like an electric Dobro... interesting.

Interesting idea. Traditionalists of my acquaintance will probably see it as the work of Satan; and if we're being picky it's a bit of a genre-specific sound (not to say you can't, just that most people buying them probably won't). I like it though.

Hi Discreet and Leftybassman

Yes, Dobro/National steel sort of sound. I know that many of his customers are from the traditional country blues/slide players stable so they've probably met Santa at the crossroads already

Do you happen to know whether Michael Messer is one of his customers? Having met him a number of times at Blues Summer Schools I'd imagine he'd be quite keen to at least give it a try.

I don't know if Michael has one but he and Andy know each other. Mike Harding has one.
