Great review. I want one...
I would highly recommend it . still loving it
Great demo!
I'm thinking of getting one since I love Son House but I don't plan to fork over $2K+ for a National. I've adjusted the action on my Fender Roosevelt resonator. Do you think it'd be hard to adjust the action on this. (I like the action just slightly higher than a regular acoustic but not super high by any means.)
I look forward to your next video.

I tried to adjust the truss rod to make it more slide friendly, but that didnt quite do it, so I took it to Dusty Strings here in Seattle. They showed me a metal nut extender (removable). you slip that in and it makes it a totally different instrument; great for slide or lap steel. Thanks for watching and commenting

Thanks!
I've used extension nuts before. Those are handy. How was the action out of the box? As long as it's not particularly low, I'd probably love it since I still want to use frets too.
I hope you love it! Happy playing!
@@mattmcclain829 I actually felt like out of the box it was set up to be played like a regular acoustic. very playable in that sense. but I have a Taylor and a Godin A6 so I wasn't necessarily looking for another acoustic, I wanted a slide guitar with a resonator sound. that being said, I wont hesitate if tracking country and folk style songs to pull the extender nut off and use it as a different color/tone acoustic

Fantastic! I plan to go up to Birmingham, AL to test one out. It's funny; I have a 1930's Dobro and a Fender Roosevelt resonator, but I've been playing everything (especially slide) on my cheap Washburn beater acoustic. I sat in at Ground Zero in Clarksdale, MS with it a few months ago:

Thanks for the info and, of course, your great video.
I bought this exact guitar, I love the tone and i want to focus just on some dirty slides. xD
I think it's awesome
Where's the slide, man?
Check out my other video about setting up this guitar for slide work using a nut extender. In the past, I always felt quite frustrated trying to learn slide on guitars with normal action and this guitar was the same.... Until the nut extender! Since then I've been playing this guitar as a lap steel with a tone bar and I've been loving the experience. Thanks for checking out the video and commenting

What language?
I normally love your videos, but you stepped into my world tripping.
First and foremost, don't dress to match the guitar. you're playing it, not dating it.
A reso and a guitar look alike, but they're very different instruments. The higher the tension , the better it sounds. It's made to take higher tension and heavier strings. You noticed the thicker neck. You're playing sounded great, but again, youre a guitar player trying to play a reso like a guitar. Guessing that was a jim dunlop pyrex slide. Theyre too light for reso. They suck. Great for guitar, near perfect, not for reso. Guitar has lighter strings, lighter slide. Heavy glass or brass, projects better. Firm pressure. But not overwhelming. Like caressing a woman. Firm and gentle at the same time. Forceful and loving. If you do it right, 3 minutes is all you need kind of sex, or playing reso, same difference.
All that rattle and buzz was technique, not instrument. The action is fine, maybe a little high even, should be set for fingerstyle. You develop the techniques to slide on low action. High action is for posers. Just takes practice.
I started in the 70s. Just takes a lot of practice. You're trying to make an inanimate object speak, moan, groan, purr, have emotion, emote desire, pain, fear, love, and everything else a living being does.
I hope you spend the time learning and practicing. You're a fantastic guitarist and i would love to see what you can do after a year.
I'm going to render a long reply because you made a lot of interesting comments worth addressing. First, I usually make videos when I have gaps in my teaching schedule so I definitely don't plan my outfits at all; sorry if that looked dumb in this one. I have done a number of unboxing videos lately with guitars that are definitely not within my past knowledge or comfort zone. E.g. this one, my Mountain Dulcimer, my Schecter 8 string. I definitely take chances as a musician and even after 40 years of playing music, I'm always open to challenging myself and learning new things. So I'm not making these unboxing demos with a philosophy of "I am the expert on this." If anything there's an un(der)stated philosophy of "I'm a rock musician ready to try something new and I'm letting you in on my first moments experiencing this new thing." I was surprised when I first got the Recording King how fun it was to play as a standard guitar.... just an acoustic with a different tonal color. But since I got it to (try to) play slide -- which I had never really done with any kind of seriousness or success in the past -- this video was my first step in a quest to figure out how one employs a resonator to do that. Since making this video I made another about getting a nut extender, a trip to Dusty Strings in Seattle that also introduced me to the tone bar. I'm now playing this guitar with slide-ready action... check out my other videos about it. And I'm *loving* the challenge of the tone bar....which I much prefer to a glass slide. It's tons of fun, and I am getting better...slowly. But it's a whole new world for me and very exciting. Thanks for watching and commenting!!
Bro, what you wearing today? You gotta change it now, some random youtuber doesn't like it xD. What an absurd thing to say to anyone.
Wtf kind of comment...lol
thanks for your support on that count :) @@wouldoox8024
thanks for the moral support. I generally don't pay much attention to what I wear. I'm much more into my guitars and what they look like. @@ramblinjay3816
