FAQ

What is the difference between a resonator guitar and a normal acoustic guitar

A resonator guitar uses a metal resonator instead of a wooden body. This creates more volume and a sharper tone. The sound cuts through a mix, which is ideal for slide and blues.

Is a dobro guitar the same as a resonator guitar?

A dobro guitar is a type of resonator with a spider cone system. This produces a warm, melodious sound. The term is often used collectively for resonators, but technically, it's a specific model.
