Hi there
Thanks for the comments on the Mayorga Four String
i made the tail mainly with hand tools Hacksaw , files and various grades of emry cloth abrasives , finished it off with 000 gauge steel wool and did the final polish with Auotosol metal polish applied with a cloth then buffed by hand - the final stage was to add the flute down the middle which i did on my milling machine - the two Torx screws go through the tail and have a spring on each under the tail to stop any rattles ect the bottom end of the tail is held in place by the tension of the strings
hope that helps - thanks for the intrest
juju :)
I responded back.

Sorry for the long wait Fitzhugh. I was in Texas on business last week.

Thanks very much for the comments on my website and Guitars - as regards my website this is the only one i have had - i have alterd it around a little so maybe thats what your thinking about ?
regarding the Resonator and the Tune yes there was a slight bit of reverb but not much at all the magnetic pickups do pickup sound from the strings and in turn the reso cone it's not the same tone as you would get from a regular six string guitar - look at it this way tone on a solid bodied guitar differs depending on what wood the Body and neck are made from all which is picked up through vibration in the strings and guitar the same applies to a resonator the strings are plucked the vibration goes through the bridge into the Resonator cone which produces sound - well since the cone and strings are vibrating the magnetic pickup picks up both sounds
as it happens i am just making some prototype humbuckers for the natianol Resonators for the very purpose of amplifing the reso sound - these have been a special request from some top guys in the know so i hope they work ok lol!
the mini reso was all made by myself took forever to build could have made a full size on in less time hehe!
thanks for the intrest mate
juju :)
