NRD!

Muaha! It finally arrived! I've been waiting a few month for it to be made for me!

A single cone resophonic from Amistar! Loud and metallic!

[billstein]

Beautiful!

That F hole looks awesome.

Congrats!! I have wanted a resonator for so long, even though I have absolutely no use for it.  I just love the way they sound.

[midwayfair]

My jealousy knows no bounds. Congrats!

Awesome! Looks fab!
I can highly recommend these strings for resonator:
http://www.michaelmesser.co.uk/stringpa.htm
if you tune down to open D or open G use the heavy gauge 16.18.27w.39.49.59., despite the enormous gauge their tension is lower than normal and it will be fine.
If you tune up to open A or open E then the gauge 13.17.26w.36.46.56. will be better. I use and like the nickel ones.

Can it play metal though?

sorry couldn't resist 

Awesome axe dude!

Can it play metal though?

Not only metal but HEAVY metal! \../ ... the JCM800 of the 1920s!

Thanx guys. Obviously i have spent some hours playin her now, and it feels ... very special. I'm into some regression phase i think, from digital to analog to acoustic.

@ cooder: Thanx for the string tips. I remember you wrote about them in another thread too!

Cheers!

Indeed.   :-)

Very nice guitar.

These really are heavy metal guitars. Mine weighs more than my Vintage LP-100!

They're loud as hell for acoustic, too! (I always get told by Dad, "Use a lighter pick!")

[Leevibe]

Beautiful! I really love the cutaway and the shape of the lower bout. I now have Dire Straits' Money for Nothing in my head.

[raulduke]

Likey!

Really cool.

[Vallhagen]

Thanx guys. I definitely am in love with this piece!

The cutaway and "14 frets design" makes it really nice to play on the upper frets too, something I often miss on acoustics. Here I can cosily play barre chords on the 12th fret and take it from there.

Cheers
