I bought my RR from Catfish Keith a few years ago. If you haven't already, call Catfish. Really nice guy. I spoke and emailed with him quite a while before buying from him.

Here's Mike comparing the two. The El Trovador isn't a cutaway. But later National made the cutaway model for Mike.

And here's Steve playing a Wood ResoRocket. I wouldn't mind owning one of these also.

Didn't see your 2nd post before posting. Either sounds great fingers only or slide. |
Thanks for all the info. They both sound great!!! I like the sound of the wood resorocket as it seems a little louder and more punchy in volume. That's the one that seems to get the more swampy blues, delta blues sound and feel, would you agree?
