Brownsville resonator
I just bought a Brownsville resonator guitar
http://www.samash.com/catalog/showit...onetodaythanks It has a humbucker by the neck and piezo on the bridge. Really well made actually and was half price because they're closing out the line. Sounds great plugged in with either PU and not bad unplugged. Certainly plenty loud to practice licks. Does anybody know a good slide guitar CD book so I can learn some licks and fills and stuff. I'm playing open G flatpick bottleneck. Lots-o-fun ;-)

I saw the Bob Bozeman 3 CD set for bottleneck on ebay for a good price.

Both Stephan Grossman and Homespun tapes have a ton of material in almost any style of bottleneck you can imagine. Most of of the old Delta blues is not plugged and is finger picked - you might want to check out Roy Roger's tape where he does plug in and plays a lot more single string stuff. He has a cool section of playing a 12 string Dobro (as he says, "a rather rare animal") with a pickup. Most of Roger's playing is in D.
Unless you are playing on stage I've never seen the need for a pickup in a reso - they are loud (and nasty) enough without one

Figger I'll try this on a tune or two. Thanks for the info.

Woog,
Is the volume on the Brownsville good enough to play unplugged? I mean is it as loud as a regular acoustic or resonator?
