<p>I may be worthwhile to put a hole in that steel dish to let more of the sound into the box? (acoustically) Although if it is going to be primarily electric, this may be better? I have the top half of one of those soap trays, just waiting for a box that inspires me.</p>

<p>Cool looking guitar. I look for potential guitar parts no matter where I go! I am so glad to see Kenis' post cause I'm doing a 4 string, but in nylon, Dgbe, but plan on spending most of the time dropping that e to d for some open G slide work on the nylons!</p>

It's prolly not a true reso design in the technical sense really...just took the two soap dish parts drip part you see on top and tray below..inverted (flipped) the part with the drip holes...used a square u bolt to hold two pieces together...top of bolt is the bridge.<br />
The metal box/reso is then attached to the top...it's suspended inside for a little better vibration.<br />
It's got a tiney sound to it...but nothing like a true reso really.<br />

It sounds good plugged into a bass amp.<br />

<p>I use standard medium gauge, the 4 highest strings: Dgbe and tune the e down to d. / The high e is usually a .013 but I replace it with a .016. This is not necessary, especially if you want to tune back up to standard too, but the heavier string seems to improve the tone for the slide considering we are tuning down. Enjoy your new build. </p>

<p>Nice build. I'm interested in hearing your resonator design. I like Open G (Dgbd) <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/HB6vm3jtRLk?wmode=opaque" frameborder="0"></iframe>

So I tried the lower set EADG<br />
And just didn't like the sound.<br />
(EJ16's) I guess the low vib doesn't do much for a small box.<br />
The highs on the other hand seem well suited and the guit has a nice little sound. I'm no guitar playing master...hack mostly. Had some pal guitar slingers check it out and they seemed pretty stoked about its playability.<br />
I do feel like I could get more acoustic sound out of it though.<br />
I'll need to bone up on how to do that.<br />
Thanks for the advice.
