Wow. Didn't know these existed. Love the look of it. I have a metal body reso that use a lot for slide in open G, open D, & double drop D.

Tony Policastro reviewed a Guild all solid (square-neck) resonator when he was working with Music Villa (possibly a R 37 s -if that's the name for solid- I seem to remember).

It did have a depth and power that made it really unique...Nothing comparable to laminated ones (from other makes including Gretsch and Gibson) I had heard...
(Price either had nothing much in common 😊 ;) this being said)

Very cool guitar, sure looks pristine, congrats! I don’t have any experience with resonators, but last year or so I caught Taj Mahal in concert and he played a resonator, and it was a unique sound and I dug it.

edit, now I realize this is an 8 year old post lol

Yes I did : I'd been reading the topic about Canje0621's search for a Guild RS 30 S resonator and my searches got me here, where Ralf didn't have his answer about sonic value of all solid woods vs laminates on resonators. (I could do myself with a Guild resonator if I'd find one, and if they were not so dear).
I couldn't copy the Tony's review's video URL though, for lack of the down hyphen on my computer's keyboard
www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9-WMhyphenaoSvM . Maybe someone would be nice enough to do it ?

Once again, folks, this is an 8-year-old post. txbumper hasn't been around for a while.

The New Hartford-based resonators are surely a rare breed. I don't think they made many, and some of them went to LTGers... I wonder if they still have them?

Well since the crypt was already opened and the thread resurrected, there is one on Reverb…


We also saw that beautiful 37 Koa sell a short time ago… Did GAD buy this?

Hah! Tundra, they are hit or miss, but if you want a square neck, jump on it!
