![]() ![]() The action on this model is high, which makes it ideal for playing with a slide or on your lap using a tone bar. Not only does it look great, but it also gives you that signature twangy sound which is slightly on the warmer side because of the use of a single cone and mahogany wood for the body. In terms of construction, this guitar features a mahogany body and a metal aluminum cone with a spider. This particular resonator belongs to a top-of-the-line resonator series built by Paul Beard, so whatever you have read about this particular PBR model can pretty much be applied to any other resonator in the Paul Beard series. My Review: If you are looking for a resonator guitar that will enable you to play a variety of different styles, and that is superbly crafted, then look no further than the Gold Tone PBR round neck resonator guitar.

But, if you want to learn more about all the terminology associated with resonator guitars such as spiders, cones, or biscuits I’ve included a buying guide at the bottom of the page here.ģ. I’ll start this article by reviewing the best resonator guitars at different price points. Due to the unique way they are built, resonators are able to resonate more loudly and produce a sound that is grittier and sharper. The reason why they were invented in the first place back in the late 1920s is that regular acoustic guitars weren’t able to compete with loud brass instruments within the confines of a band. They always stand out, with their striking design, as well as loud, resonating sound, especially if they have an all-metal body, which is something that looks rather odd if you are seeing a resonator guitar for the first time. They always seem to take a back seat to both acoustic and electric guitars, which is unfair, since they are fascinating pieces of gear, not just when it comes to construction, but their looks as well. However, when it comes to genres like bluegrass and blues, resonators are used very frequently because of their twangy metallic sound, which suits these genres extremely well. Now I wouldn't be suprised that he would send them to the PA, but Im pretty sure he just sends it all thru the LoneStars.Īnd yes, the MB LoneStars sound awesome!

It shouldn't take long until you've reached a conclusion on what you prefer." Go plug in to an acoustic amp and really hear what it's capable of, then start comparing it to other tones from other devices. The V-Amps are good, but they will color the tone and there is only like 1 or 2 settings I found using what I said above that produces a usable peizo sound. The PA sounds good but it lacks some of the tone you get with the other options. The next would be the PX4 on Peizo or another clean. they really bring the sound alive and give it that woody crystalline feel. The best sound I've heard comes from the acoustic amps. Pandora PX4 - Plug it in and put it on the Peizo setting V-Amp2 (turn off everything and keep the cab on Tube Preamp) V-Amp (cant turn off cab sim - Tube Preamp) This one is very interesting "I've tried the Peizo with quite a few different things. ![]() "I was once in a music store in Fort Walton Beach, FL, and I had brought my Ibanez RG2027 in there to show my friend Will, and while I was there I had plugged it into an acoustic amp (not sure which brand.might've even been a Crate, and I hate Crates), and the sound was fan-friggin-tastic! It had a "woodier" sound than just running it direct through a board. Guitar amps nad speakers aren't very flattering at all on piezo sounds" "You will generally get the best tone by sending the piezo signal to a full range sound system like a keyboard amp or a good PA. (However nobody speaks about the prices ) Somebody has posted the same topic on a JPetrucci forum. ![]()
