Just about to hit the news stands, we got a nice review on both our resophonic guitars and mandolins in the March, 2009 issue of Vintage Guitar Magazine.

Why should a dobro player never leave home without his slide?
Just in case he''s in an accident, he wouldn''t want to be mistaken for a banjo player.

Thanks Bobby!

It's funny how this all came about. I ran an ad for one of my Army/Navy style flat "Traveler" mandoilns in the Classifieds section at mandolincafe.com, and a guy that does instrument reviews for Vintage Guitar magazine got interested because I mentioned our Seafoam Green Traveler mandolin. I e-mailed him back and told him the only reason I had a Seafoam Green mandolin was because there was still som paint left in my gun after spraying that color on one one of my resophonic guittars. I asked him if he would be interested in reviewing both instruments, and the rest, as they say , is history.

Steve - Great article. I'd say you sure do seem to be going about this the right way. I'd be really surprised if your resos don't catch fire (not literally of course) and really take off soon. I, for one, would really like to get my hands on one some day. I have especially taken a liking to the way you've had them photographed like in your avatar and the image on the hangout you used for the contest. Very tasty lighting with rich color. It really brings out the quality of your construction. I was immediately drawn in by the photography alone!

Hi Dan,

Thanks for the kind words about our products and photographic techniques! Actually, I should give credit where credit is due. I have a great employee, a guy named Jason. Not only is he awesome in the shop (from years of working in the trenches at Gibson's Bluegrass Division, no doubt) but he is also a whiz on the computer. He can make any picture look good, and he is overall responsible for the quality and much of the content of our new RedLine website.

Not only that, Jason has a good friend who is also an excellent photographer. He's got the gear too. I hear that one of his camera lenses costs more that TWO ouf my RedLine Ramblers! So, a shout out to Jess too!

BTW, the photo with the bus is total fantasy. It was shot in the bus owners garage, with the reso's parked in front of it. The rest is digital smoke and mirrors. Sure made a nice poster, though.
