What Resonator to buy?

Monday, March 29, 2010

 I have seen and played my first (fairly good) resonator recently.  It was a Gold Tone PBR entry level.  Here is my impression. Roundneck only- The neck, binding and tuners were excellent as well, so was the action.  It was a Beard set-up.  But... I wanted to give my local shop the business.  So, at first it looked like a Regal was available for less.  I recently saw one in Musician's Friend for next to nothing! (which was even less).  But they were not available.  (through my local shop's dealer)

Then I got a call re: a Revival with an ebony fretboard.  My question is:  What is the skinny on a Revival RR18?  Is the Beard set-up more important.  The Revival and PBR (all set-up), are about the same price from the two competing stores....  This will be my first experience with reso's.

Played bass in a couple of Celtic folk groups in the 70's. Love the blues. I currently am learning classical guitar and fingerpicking: Baroque to Romantic periods. Love some pop, soul, and rock and roll, too.
