Suggestions for Resonator Guitar Construction
I love the sound of a resonator guitar and would like to take a shot at building one. I have seen several designs using a license plate on the box top. Can anyone tell me if it is as simple as mounting a plate on the top? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thganks to all!See More

"Do you have any of these guitars made right now? If not please let me know what this design would cost and how long to build.
Thanks!"

Uncle John replied to Joe Niszczak's discussion Suggestions for First Timers in the group 2 String CBG builds, playing, tuning"Hey Joe. The chugger guitar should be a good starter. One you could play and use as a model to build. I sure like octave tuning, the 2 strings an ovtave apart. I makes everything simple and instinctive and especially with an amp, it sounds amazing.…"
Joe Niszczak replied to Joe Niszczak's discussion Suggestions for First Timers in the group 2 String CBG builds, playing, tuning"Thanks again! I will take you up on the suggestions and let you know how the build goes. Love the JP Soars videos. Eventually I would like to build an electric version like the ones he plays.
