New Used Round-necked Resonator Guitar Day!
My new-to-me Gold Tone PBR Paul Beard Signature Roundneck Resonator Guitar should arrive next Wednesday.
I got a cheap Rogue round-necked spider resonator about 20 years ago. It was fun to play, but never quite had the sound and play-ability that I wanted. Last year I bought a used Beard cone for it and trued up the spider as best as I could. The Beard cone replacement was well worth it as I discovered that the original cone had been bent and damaged sometime in its life, but the spider was poorly made and there was only so much I could do to make it better.
I have a 6-string and an 8-string square-necked Gold Tone Beard Resonators and love their tone, so I found a used round-necked GT and bought it.
Should be here on Wednesday! I will let you know what I think afterit arrives.
I play a variety of Americana tunes and songs, with lots of fingerpicking. I have a couple of biscuit bridge resonators, but have decided they are not quite what I want.
