How long did it take you guys to get used to your beasts?
About 7 and half months.
Nice looking instrument, and you look every inch the bluesman!
Question - what gauge strings are you using? I notice you've got a wound third....do you use heavier strings on a reso than a normal acoustic, as a rule?
:D :D :D

It's a 12 fret to the body guitar. Not a big deal, the 14 fret guitar was a modern innovation in the late '20s-early '30s after National brought out their Tricone (which this is a copy of.) Takes a little getting used to if you've been playing 14 fretters.

really nice looking reso. a tricone?
glad you are getting into it.
loud, aren't they!
Nice guit box! I have a cheapie Rogue spider reso but the tailpiece broke .... been meaning to order a new one so I can get it up and running again. They are a unique and interesting instrument for sure.

nice guit man. I love the look of reso's, insane. John butler i think uses one, im not sure, but he's probablt my favourite modern slide player. incredibly gifted muso.
Don't sweat it dude, just play!
Hey thanks ..... but my only problem is lazyness. I can get the part for less than $15 online ready to go ... but I need one of those round TUITs. :lol: http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Bridges,_tailpieces/Resonator_guitar_tailpieces.html Shame on me ... BAD TR .. BAD!!!

Dude, you worry too much.

No offense intended.

I don't think reso's are really different. It's just the sound.....
Kinda clangy-jandy. Like a bango is to G tuning. The same but kinda different.
Are we going to be able to hear you play this beast?
R U going to upload a sound clip?
It's the rock that gives the stream its music . . . and the stream that gives the rock its roll.
