Prepare to be amazed. This style of guitar is extinct in popular music, but goddamn... It shouldn't be

3. It is interesting.. I googled and saw they start around $1500 and up for the new ones...

Pretty cool, though.

… Django Reinhardt perfectly. Wonderful!

4. Wow! That guy IS amazing.

The guitar is stunning. The history is intriguing. The musician is delightful. So playful. All just cool as cool can be.

Thanks for ending my day with this.

8. Ahhh, a "resonator guitar". . .

. . .generically known in some quarters as a Dobro, except that a Dobro is usually played lap steel guitar style.

I have a friend who regularly plays this instrument.

13. Many Who Play It On Their Lap...

...get the square neck models.
I saw one at a pawn shop in the town where I grew up. It sounded fantastic but it was square neck, and I don't play slide that way.
The square neck is extremely uncomfortable to play like a regular guitar.
I was bummed, because it was very cheap & sounded so good. But, I'd never play it so I had to pass.

9. Mark Knopfler played this style of guitar with Dire Straits and uses it in his solo career.

Mark Knopfler is a magical, musical, genius !!!

11. Just Played A Couple On Wednesday

They're all louder than a normal acoustic but one of the two I played the other day was amazingly loud.
I tend to like the sound of the biscuit resonators, but the tri-cone design does really make them project.
This guy mentions them being louder. He isn't lying!
