The Resonator

[FrankenWashie]

This is my 5th set-neck and again must have been lucky as no height problems so far (though this is my first resonator so don't speak too soon GF!!). Can anyone tell me whether the ebony bridge blank has to have six grooves 'filed' in and if so does this mean six round files??

In CS’s build thread this gets discussed, his wife’s Gresch Honey Dipper has notches to receive the strings, my Dobro Hound Dog Deluxe has them also, I think mainly to maintain an even string spacing.
if you’ve a set of nut files it should be no probs, and as you are in Freo, I’m pretty sure Adam can sort you for those fairly quick.

I pi*sed about way too long before I purchased a set of nut files. Mine came from the States and cost about AU $100, they're soooo nice to use. They changed that kind of work from bush mechanic to craftsman!
