This is my brother's resonator.
He left it at my house last Monday night. So, I've been goofing around with it.
(crappy iPad pic warning)
It's old. He's had it forever.
It does need some work. The bridge bone has been replaced and the new one is not cut properly.
The neck has a lot of relief and there's no truss rod.
And it's a W I D E neck. It takes some time to get used to it.
Still, it's a lot fun to play cowboy chords on it.
Of course, a slide works just fine, too.
I had it for a while when I was a teenager, too. My brother swears that I changed the tailpiece on it back then, but I don't remember doing it. From pics that I've found, that looks like the correct tailpiece. I just ordered a dobro style tailpiece. I'll change it and we'll see how it works out.
From what I have read, it's pretty much all rosewood.
