Dean Resonator Cutaway/Electric Natural Mahogany Guitar Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is not a guitar, it's a case, so the title and description is incorrect. Nor is it a hard case, it's a tan "semi-hard case covered with a gig bag type material", so the image is incorrect as well.
So why is it listed on Amazon? Because Woodwind and Brasswind 'has no control over what's listed' or something like that.
In Amazon we trust. That's why we order through Amazon and not directly from the seller (at first, at least). This is one of those times where you should pay close attention to the feedback and not order from either one.
Don't order ANYTHING from "Woodwind and Brasswind". Buy from someone else.

Regal Duolian Resonator, Nickel-plated Style-0 Guitar RC-2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this when it was on sale for 350. I see now that it's even cheaper (321). Bought a hardshell case from a local pawn shop for $20 and I was good to go. But I had to do some work on it when I got it. I opened it up to check out the cone, as I have read you need to replace it with a national. The neck is very cheaply glued on, and braced with cheap wood. Very disappointing. And the bracing really dampened the body's vibration so that there was very little volume and sustain. So I took a fine saw and cut out the lower half of the bracing... so the neck is still braced, but not in the lower/bass half of the body where most of the vibration happens. (Google "mushroom mod" and you should find some instruction somewhere on it.) Then I took off about 1/16 to 1/8" of the saddle to lower the action so I could do some finger style (it was slide-only when I got it). Then I took a dremel with a cutting wheel and cut notches in the tailpiece so the strings would sit down lower in order to increase pressure on the cone, to increase volume and sustain. Then I put new Daddario 16/56 reso strings on it. NOW it sounds GREAT. But I don't know about the longevity because of the cheapo bracing. If the neck comes apart, I'm gonna bolt it on myself, I think. All in all, I really enjoy playing it. I don't want to drop two or three grand on a national. 350 with a little modding... and it sounds like a national (I know; I just played several) AND without having yet put in a national cone! Maybe when I put in the national cone it will actually sound better than a national! Hmmm. That might be hoping a little too much. Oh... and I don't think the nut is bone... it looks plastic to me. Need to replace that sometime soon, too.

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-2 in Style-0 features a nickel-plated brass body.

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.

(More customer reviews)Great guitar! I compared this to the Paul Beard Signature model at my local shop and couldn't notice much of a difference. This is a great Reso for any level player. Good build quality and setup right out of the box.
