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

The Duolian Resonator Guitar was a favorite with blues legends such as Son House, Bukka White and Tampa Red when it first appeared in 1931.In the days before electric amplification, blues musicians were looking for an instrument that could produce the volume they needed while still maintaining the tone they required.The Duolian was the answer.The RC-1 comes in steel with a gun-metal gray polychrome finish.

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.

The Swamp Stomper fuses a vintage triolian resophonic with a modern electric guitar to create a tone that's straight from the bayou!This resonator has a 9.5 hand-spun aluminum cone designed for maximum volume, a mahogany body, a maple biscuit bridge, a single cutaway design, vintage cream body binding and a pickup with volume and tone controls. The resonator comes with a black matte finish that looks great for blues and country playing.The Swamp Stomper has incredible projection that's maximized when plugged. The single cutaway design is excellent for blues solos and smooth slide playing.
