I need a round neck, biscuit-cone resonator for less than $500
This Gretsch G9240 Alligator looks good:
https://www.musiciansfriend.com/folk...sonator-guitar I like to play R.L. Burnside and John Lee Hooker tunes. Due to an injury to my left hand, I cannot use a slide. What resonators do you suggest? Thanks in advance! |

For less than $500, your choices are limited, but I would choose that Gretsch over any Regal, Recording King, Rogue, or Johnson. If you want a raunchy, gut-bucket blues tone, look into the Honey Dipper model.

You cannot use a slide? Then how do you finger the chords???? As for those Gretschs, if you want gutbucket go with one of the metal ones as the wood ones sound a bit softer/prettier.

I have a Gretchen Boxcar. You can’t beat it for the price. Great quality. They are not as sweet as a GoldTone Beard... but they cost 1/3.
Pity...I rarely play mine. I’d sell it but it’s wouldn’t fetch enough to justify the shipping Anyways... great guitar on the cheap.

Gretsch Alligator is biscuit bridge, the Boxcar and Bobtail are spider bridge models.
I have the Boxcar and it is a great little reso. Look up Toby Walker playing one on Youtube.
