Building a poor man’s resonator guitar

Making a resonator guitar with a cook pot and some springs

[@rasmusn.e.m1064]

There is no more personal a sound than the one of a man playing his own song on his own instrument made from his own stuff. Love it.

[@DrCharlesWAdams]

I agree, thank you very much

[@Ezemdi]

Man I’ve never been much into resonator guitars but I LOVE what you’ve done with your build. I want one now lol. God Bless You 🙏🏿

[@jannelarsson]

Splendid ! Absolutely marvelous ! Many thanks for this inspiration Sir..

[@DrCharlesWAdams]

Thank you

Hello, the springs under the "resonator" give this instrument a sound just like a sitar, perhaps a little more metallic, but it sounds very unique and well. Well made too. With best wishes!

[@DrCharlesWAdams]

Thank you very much. I agree I’ve always thought it was a little like a sitar.

[@barryrusso6777]

[@Erinnem]

I have a really old Dobro it was made in 1928 and it sounds great still it’s a round neck so it’s extra cool! I love resonator guitars!

[@DrCharlesWAdams]

Excellent, I love the old school sound of a resonator also.

[@ziggylayneable]

I am the victim of a traumatic brain injury and I watch RUclips videos of luthiers for entertainment and you are absolutely incredible with what you did! New Jersey gives you props for this one! I know you're not from Jersey but that's okay!. This guitar is cool man!

[@DrCharlesWAdams]

Cool thanks man, I did work in Jersey a few times.

[@wheetman]

Thank you

[@DrCharlesWAdams]

My pleasure

[@MimicoBungalow]

Wow...sounds like a damped banjo...I wonder what it would sound like with raised strings, open turning and played with a slide?

[@DrCharlesWAdams]

Sounds like a fun experiment, thanks

[@CigarboxSchulzi]

I think I‘m using the same thumb pick 😅

[@DrCharlesWAdams]

Cool, looks like I was using a Fred Kelly slick pick on that one

[@earlsinstrumentsandtunes9732]

It is great to see different concepts and approaches to music instrument design and construction. I love it, it does have some of the 1960's spring reverb sound!
Here is a link to one of my different ideas if you like. ruclips.net/video/LKtSDDDGItw/видео.html

[@DrCharlesWAdams]

Thanks Earl very nice. Love the happy face mandolin and tune

[@earlelfrink]

@@DrCharlesWAdams Glad I found your channel. Loved the sermon about sacrificing our children. Glad you are bringing the clear truth about our culture. I'm a pastor myself and preach the same message.

[@DrCharlesWAdams]

@@earlelfrink Earl glad to hear that you’re a pastor also. I’ve been enjoying some of your Gospel singing. I love old time Gospel, grew up with it. Tell the other musicians I appreciate it. Feel free to email at [e-mail]
