Resonator guitar dealers selling ResoVille, Fender, Gretsch, Dobro and National resophonic guitars

Resonator Guitars come in either Round-neck (generally played in the normal guitar position) or Square-neck (generally played horizontally on a table or across the lap). The round-neck is normally fretted like a standard guitar and often played with a 'slide' or 'bottle' where the square-neck is built with a high action (so the frets are not used) and is played with a metal slide. There are many tunings for resonators including standard E,A,D,G,B,E and an open G (D,G,D,G,B,D or GBDGBD) or open D (D,A,D,F#,A,D) tuning which are used by some bluegrass players. Lap Steels, Hawaiian and the Weissenborn (which is a kind of cross between a guitar and a zither) are usually played with a steel and held horizontally on the lap or in front of the player with a strap. We also sell a full range of guitars including Electric Guitars, Jazz & Semi Guitars, Bass Guitars, Acoustic Guitars, Electro Acoustic Guitars, Graphite Guitars, Gypsy Jazz Guitars, Resonator Guitars, Classical Guitars, Flamenco Guitars, Electro Nylon Guitars, Pedal Steel Guitars, Lap Steel Guitars, Yamaha Silent Guitars and Lefthanded Guitars.
