A couple of ideas to consider future additions to the kit line-up ...
1. Resonator Guitar - all metal body (rather than wooden body) no pick-ups, just the resonator cone.
... and ... (I know I'll cop some flak for this suggestion but I also know Adam will appreciate it!)
2. Banjo - traditional 5-string "bluegrass" resonator-back type (rather than the open-back "Dixieland" type)
... ok, you can all stop laughing now!
Wait a minute ... that sounds like Rock and/or Roll!
SG-1 ... "Little Miss" finished in Flamenco Cherry Wudtone
TL-1A ... "Slugger" finished in Antique White Nitro
EX-1 ... "Metal God" finished in nickel-plate (work in progress)
ST-1A ... "Scrapper" stained and finished in linseed oil ... and with the "secret weapon"
GR-1SF ... "Rocker-billy" (just arrived, work in progress)
Yep, I'm a fan of both (I clearly remember Dingobass laughing at my banjo). They do a Resonator guitar, but it just looked a bit "cheap" for my liking. If there's a genuine demand I will certainly supply. See what support you get Scott. BTW, nice photo buddy, you look a lot like James Baker (ex-Hoodoo Gurus) who's a bit of a local legend here in Perth.
Cheers,
Adam

- nice to know I've got at least one claim to fame even if it is as a doppleganger!Originally Posted by adam
The resonator they make ... is a full metal body? ... or just a timber acoustic with the metal resonator cone?

I've seen both versions, Scott. I'll see if I can get some photos.

Oooooooooooh.... Resonator..... Do they do a Bass version? That I would buy
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
Oh, and the definition of a gentleman is some one who can play a Banjo but chooses not to do so in public.......

Resonator bass, DB? Ok, I'll bite. You want the wood/metal version or the all metal body version?

Seriously though, a resonator acoustic Bass could be rather cool even if it is totally impractical

Well bugger me.... Miss Fiona just did a quick google search and resonator Bass does actually exist!
I sooooooo want one now!
