Yup! Such an underrated blues player who inspired folks like Robert Johnson and even Jack White of The White Stripes. Not to mention his song Death Letter Blues was what got me down the rabbit hole of classic blues and getting a resonator guitar. One of the OG rockstars b4 rockstars even existed

My Favorite Robert Johnson Songs:

1. Kindhearted Woman Blues
2. I Believe I'll Dust My Broom
3. Come On In My Kitchen
4. Terraplane Blues
5. Cross Road Blues
6. Preaching Blues
7. Stones In My Passway
8. Drunken Hearted Man

💯! He was raised to be a "killer" so brute force is all he knows, plus it covers up what he lacks. I think of what Mamdani told Cuomo in the 2025 NYC mayoral debate: "What I lack in 'experience', I make up for in integrity. What you lack in integrity, you can never make up for in 'experience'."

*w/o right wing base

Wildly enough, it was my first time seeing that type of guitar and what planted the idea of getting one later. I will say there are country/folk/blues reso players online w/ right wing base. Just that those genres sadly swarmed by elites who want the look, not the spirit + reality of that life

Nice! Gretsch is decent as a brand despite the price (tho not as much as Nationals). What kind of resonator are you looking into? Depending on the sound, there's lots of types you could get like metal body or wood body, single cone vs tricone, biscuit vs spider vs t bridge, etc

My favorite songs from Son House:

1. Death Letter Blues
2. Grinnin in Your Face
3. John the Revelator (cover)
4. Preachin' Blues
5. Walkin' Blues (cover)

Overall, Son House is an intense Delta Blues player and resonator guitarist who inspired many blues players.

Amazing! Heard some sound demos and they sound pretty good. How do these pickups sound when run through pedal effects say distortion? Curious if you have tried any.

Also, tried looking them up and can't seem to find them. Seems like their website's down, but unsure if they stopped selling.

Nice biscuit resonator! It's similar to my own and even parlor sized too! 😊

What pickup are you using for yours? It looks like you have a slim humbucker type with volume and tone knobs, but Im unsure. Plus, I'm trying to get mine amped up too so exploring options to do so

Also cool is how there were efforts to make a resonator harp with metal cones inside the body of the harp.

Not sure how might it work in practice, but it's interesting how creative people got when trying to amplify sound back when electronic amps and speakers didn't exist as we know it now.
