Replogle Resos is a great site for resonator information

Any cylinder with a 24" diameter would do it. Double sticky tape a piece of sandpaper on it and sand away. The plant should not even be bothered with...

I see. Interesting. I do not have a radius block. But you are making an ingenious suggestion..... On that train of thought - a 12" radius...

Did a bit more reading and even with CA glue it takes a minute or two to fully cure. As to how... I was referring to one of these clamps: ...

Great idea! Simple and effective.

Made a “jig” to try to make the sanding of the lip for the cone as even as possible. Double sided tape to hold sandpaper on. Started with 180 grit...

I've never been "good" with fast drying glue" ... always find a way to ruin it!

How do you adapt a "one handed clamp to it"..... I'm getting ideas as I type - but if you've already got it down I'd love to see how you actually do...

BTW the Superglue he uses in the vid dries in 3-5 seconds, so you have to move fast ;-) ... I think it's just ordinary CA glue.

I had a Strat bridge where the grub screws were bothering my hand. I got advice from someone here (McCreed, maybe?) to get shorter grub screws. I...

It's not the intonation that I don't like - I can probably work that out - it's more that they're uncomfortable if you put the heel of your hand on...

It was - this one uses a glue that might be harder to find (although I've never looked for a super glue with a few minutes curing time - most I've...

Thanks for that - I had tried a "normal" hammer - probably hurt the frets! I had first tried putting apiece of wood on the fret and hammering that...

Veneer for shims hmm I’m sure there’s some at the men’s shed. Thanks fender

Woke up eager to see how the neck responded - happy to report it looks much better than yesterday morning. It will be interesting what it does when...

I decided to go the six-saddle route as well, but if you want to keep it stock you might consider ordering a set of compensated saddles:

Oops! That *might* be useful, but was not the vid I meant to send... This is the one I meant to send.

Here's a vid that might be relevant to your situation. I thought I had this going on with a 40 year old Acoustic. It turned out to be something else...

I think the post from Tim and from you must have come in while I was writing mine. Nice to know he stands behind the product. The convex does not...

Well - what a difference..... I took the nut out today and filed the back of it down about 1.5mm (nerve wracking!). it kept on wearing away on...

Hi Tgraham, it is disappointing if you are unhappy. I see that Tim has responded and is happy to replace or refund. As for the curve of the neck!...

Thanks Scott, I have turned it to the feeling lose stage the curve has lessened and yes I will recheck in the morning after a settling period. ...

The truss rod counter-acts string tension, so when you have a back bow or convex neck the truss rod is too tight and is bending the neck backwards....

Which way would I turn truss rod ?

Photos of each side of the neck

Thanks fender yes Australian Margate just on the wrong side of the island but that ok. I won’t touch anything until Trevor contributes seeing he’s...

So far, I think we've had two build diaries on the Resonator--including one from the owner of PB. I would suggest taking some pictures. It sounds...

I will see what members say before I decide what to do, I believe all the “problems” can be sorted but will see what others say. Cheers Graham

G'day Graham, If you're completely unhappy with the kit, I can certainly replace it or refund it if it's really disappointed you that badly. I...
