Well I did some research and ended up buying an Epiphone Dobro Hound Dog. I found this video of Eric Clapton playing one.....just like the one I ordered.....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocbYA50CJi4 I got it at zzsounds...... https://www.zzounds.com/item--DOBDWHOUNDLX only problem is it is back ordered, so I don't know when I'll get it.... "UPDATE: It should be in at the end of the month per zzsounds." Due to financing problems this order will be delayed for about two weeks anyhow. |

Look at Beard Deco Phonics. These are American made, not like the Goldtone/Beard collaborations.
I never liked National necks for round neck playing, but the Beard Deco Phonic has a great neck and very smooth sound. If you want to go really inexpensive, the Gretch Boxcar is a good choice. |

For fun, you might what to check out some of these new thumb-picks for your reso. They are supposed to be very easy to use for people that don't normally use thumb picks, and you can get some good drive out of a reso with a pick. https://www.etsy.com/shop/BlackMount...g_id=794487301 |

That is a biscuit resonator, that is quite a bit of a different tone than the spider cone reso that you bought. Biscuit guitars have a quick attack and more punch, spider resos have better sustain and more present midrange. They both have their place, I like biscuit style better for blues, but sometimes spider cone models sound good for blues. Here's me playing one of my blues songs with a spider cone National (Western Model D). Forgive my timid playing I literally wrote the song the morning that I recorded the show. |
Good job, Very nice !!!

Yes I know, I've written lots of music using EBEEBE Tuning. That's one CSN uses a lot. I've read that the Rolling Stones use an open G tuning because Keith Richards has arthritis in his hands, and it's either that or nothing.
