Just a quick question here about resonators, what is the difference between a metal-body resonator and a wood one?
Did you get it yet? How does it play and sound? I just ordered one too, but it's still on its way.arcaxis said:I'll probably regret a purchase I just made. MF had resonators on sale and I bought a Rogue Classic Spider Squareneck Resonator for about $180. Figured this is about entry level as it gets for something I'm not even sure I'll play a whole lot. They also had a Rogue Brass Body Resonator as well for about $300. I've seen a few reviews here and there that said the Rogues weren't too bad for the money, so we'll see. Hopefully it ships this week.
Just what's on the MF site, but they seem to be pretty honest. I've seen some really bad ones on other gear there (like "the guitar broke in half during the night")arcaxis said:Usually I read reviews on gear before I buy. I couldn't find anything on this particular model.
arcaxis said:Other than the screen falling out, what do you think of the build quality considering the price? The only other resonator I actually held in my hands was a Samick for about $300. Finish and hardware wise the Rogue seems comparable. Only time will tell how durable it is. Did the strings bind in the nut as you were bringing it into tune?
Now I gotta get a grip on playing in an open tuning and finger picking.
