Lapsteel  Peavey Resonator Guitar Reviews

Submitted by genesis1-1 (see all reviews from this person) on 8/13/2015

Where Purchased: Guitar Center

Year Purchased: 2015
Price Paid: 229 ($US)

Sound

Works great with blues/rock type. I got this for practicing lap style and dobro. I've been playing Spanish style standard tuning for over 25 years. So this is my first lap style guitar.
It's fun but dull sounding . I'm using it plugged directly clean through my channel mixer going into my DAW.

Sound Rating: 4

Setup

Came in G Tuning. These units are mass produced in China. I wasn't expecting it to be perfect. There are buzzes and the bridge and but are definitely not set up properly.
I'd like to modify this if there are any mods available please let me know.
Basically you get what you pay for.

Setup Rating: 2

Appearance

The finger board is a little distracting. Almost like a shiny plastic rain boot material.
It's definitely a cheap unit.

Appearance Rating: 4

Reliability

It feels pretty strong, but the neck is somewhat toy like.

Reliability Rating: not rated

Customer Service

The strap broke right split down the middle of the sewed on button.
Glad I was sitting down when this happened. Obviously QC can't make them perfect at this price.

Customer Service: 5

Components

Strings are very thin and dinky. I'll have to upgrade them. Hopefully it won't destroy the guitar.

Components Rating: not rated

Overall Comments

Good for practice use or to jam and record some quick parts in your song.

Overall Rating: 4
