I'm wanting a new guitar and I decided that I want something different. So, I've been checking out Resonators. I've picked two that I can afford and there's only roughly $150 difference between the acoustic/electric and the metal body acoustic. They're both tricone. I just can't decide. HELP ME!!!!!!!!!

Whoa boy! Well, I think the second one is just a bit prettier but sure would be nice if it were the a/e. Tough choice BUT you win either way.

I've played the second one. I like the tone a lot.
Who needs a signature?
I mean really...
It's almost always lyrics...
or a cliche...
or garbage about me...
Lets just save YOU from the pain, ok?
i played the first one and found it to be pretty neat. high action though, but maybe that's par for the course for a reso, i dunno, im hardly the expert.
I'd get the silver one.
Hopefully Gnease will see this, I believe he knows a bit about resonators. In general, You pretty much get what you pay for. Just like anyother guitar. But if you like the sound it makes, who cares? :)

is the second one all metal or just painted that way cuz i like numero doce kind of better. either way you win

I vote #2 nice convection piece.
The Fender Acoustic-Electric has an added Telecaster pup at the neck and a power chip at the bridge. So, in terms of versatility, the first might be a little better. The second guitar is just a straight up resonator (and it looks hot). So, if thats what youre lookin' for...

I think you're probably right. I'm definitely leaning toward the Fender, because of the versatility factor! The Regal IS pretty. But I'm thinking more of functionality. I think. Plus, I like the look of the Fender, too! Darn decisions!

I, personally, would get the first one. Like you've said, it's got the pick ups and makes for more veriaty. It's also got a cute away, which in my opinion is a plus. I also just dig the wood look, what can I say...I'm not a metal man :).
