A budget version of what I normally build

This Resonator guitar was made for me out of hardware store plywood, my sons idea, just to see how it would come out. Members have asked to hear it, not a good recording sorry.

Hi all, thanks for the nice comments. The song is Louise. I did not sing the words just played my solo part. This is one of the rare times I listened/paid attention to the words, and learnt them. Real sad song, and so true.

The version I first heard was by Leo Kotke, but there's a great version by Bonnie Raitt.

The guitar has a pickup and pre amp, so maybe I'll do another song, amped up.

Thanks again, Taff.

 That was absolutely wonderful, Taff. Bravo. Already on my list of favorites. Mind if I ask what that song is? Whatever it is, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Gorgeous guitar as well. Thank you.

Love your sound Taffy. Rings like a bell and balls like a calf. Bravo !

It sure does not look or sound like any kind of budget item.  It looked great in photos and sounds fantastic here in your hands.  Pretty song.  Sounds familiar.  Nice harmonics to close.

Sounds and looks great! And if you think it`s a poor recording Dog only knows what a good recording will sound like ;)
