For blues, a single biscuit cone.
Fingerpicking and all rounder, tricone
For bluegrass, Spider cone

Yeah I’ve been lazy about working on my blues during covid so I haven’t bought anything yet. However I was thinking it probably makes sense for me to get a less expensive resonator for now and see if it sticks before deciding if I want to get someone in the $2k+ range.
Truth is, I’m more of an electric guy and dabble in finger style blues and classical so I can get by with a $500-800 guitar no problem. If me testing the waters becomes life changing.. well then it’s totally worth a bigger investment.
Thanks for the feedback.
