Resonator guitar

Sometimes guitars can be tempermental. I have a Republic Resolian, a small resonator guitar which needs some setting up. This is a specialist job, not every luthier has got the experience to set up a resonator guitar well. Fortunately there are a few good resonator luthiers in the UK. I am going to use Dave King, based in Reading. He makes beautiful little parlour guitars, but also has a lot of experience with resonators. I have recorded some sound files of my guitar before treatment. I will post some afterwards too. The recordings were made using a cheap AKG D5 mic into an Apogee Duet and then straight into Garageband.

Although the Resolian guitar is a cheap(ish), Chinese built guitar, it is really comfortable to play & when it is properly set up I am sure it will sing.
