Hi, The "sound" of a tricone tends to be smoother, perhaps richer than a single cone. However, a single cone will sound different depending on whether it is of...
That was really helpful, thanks a lot! The problem is, there are quite a few features that I am adoment I want my first resonator to have. I want a metal...
Depends on your budget I guess. I suggest that you reconsider the cutaway. If you are going to be sliding up above the 12th/14th fret, I question whether you...
You are probably right. But you say that Nationals are more common in blues playing, whilst Dobros are more common in bluegrass etc...? I am looking to spend...
Yes - a good "Vintage" AMG1 - Chinese made. I got one and am thrilled by it. Cost me £400 Make sure you have more than one to compare though. I was lucky. Saw...
I have looked at that "Vintage" you suggested. They are all about £371 etc... Since this is probably going to be the only resonator I will buy, I was hoping...
Buy the Vintage then spend any spare money on a decent cone(s) and set-up. Cones can be had from the good "National" resonator selling places or from Stewart...

I think I understood that. You are suggesting that I buy the Vintage AMG1 for £379 or something like that, then buy a good cone (you suggested national) and...
I was just on the Stewart MacDonald website, and there are three different cone types. The tricone ones are obviously for tricone resonators, but apart from...
... I think this is a bit of an over-simplification. There are many exceptions to this rule, and I've played some of them. Biscuit and spider cones are...
OK. I know I have asked this many times, but if I were to do what someone suggested, would I buy this vintage, then get the correct size biscuit bridge cone...
I have been told that a cheap and easy way to convert a guitar so that the action is appropriate for lap-style, is to get a nut raiser. Do you have to do...
You can get away with leaving the bridge until you decide whether you want to stick with lap style. The bridge is probably radiused, though, and lap style is...

It's pretty easy if you know what you're doing. I would say it's not a job for the inexperienced. That's why I suggested you see if you like lap-style before...
Bez, Pete is , of course, quite correct. I have another idea. I have seen cheap acoustic guitars in the nearby music shop for as little as £70. How about...
Sounds like a good idea. I think I have seen the very very Vintage AMG1 you were talking about on ebay for £250, but it still has many days and hours until...
I have a friend who is playing a Vintage reso --- nice guitar (and he has put an old national decal on the headstock -- which catches people's eyes). It is set...
Don't completely write off the sound of the Vintage as it is. Whilst I'm sure the Quartermans, at least, might be better, the point of a National guitar played...
I have not changed my cones in my Vintage Tri-cone, and am very pleased with the sound, however, it would appear that I have a good one. I tend to play with...
