Ricochet Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 This is another take of my 9/11 commemorative "Star Spangled Blues" played on my Johnson Tricone resonator guitar, with metal fingerpicks and thumbpick and a Craftsman socket for a slide. Recorded September 10, 2005. It's got a few glitches in it, but I've got a houseful of teenagers coming over shortly and I'd never get a perfect take!

Caevan O’Shite Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 You really put some sad on that there, Ricochet... . . . . . Man, just listening to that, I can practically feel a reso in my hands! I need to remedy that, so that I can ACTUALLY feel a (real) reso in my hands- whenever I want!

Ricochet Posted September 10, 2005 Author Share Posted September 10, 2005 Yeah, I think you need to remedy that problem! John Watts is an online friend of mine who runs a Net music store in Maryland, Coast to Coast Music. Here is their page of Johnson resos. I ordered a Style 1 Tricone from him a year and a half ago for my teacher, and he gave me a really good deal. The guitar and case are lovely. My older Johnson Tricone (one of the first Chinese made ones) needed a bit of upgrading, but the new one was perfect out of the box. If you call or E-mail John, he'll give you a lot better deal than the Johnson minimum advertised price on the website. "A cheerful heart is good medicine."

Caevan O’Shite Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Oh, thanks! Thanks for the recommendation, Ricochet, that's swell of ya! When I actually get around to it, chances are quite likely that I'll either put together a reso from parts that Stewart-MacDonald carries (check them out, just for the education!), or buy a resophonic guitar of one brand or another from nearby Ithaca Guitar Works here in NY State. They've always kept more reso's in stock (and a wide variety, vintage to new, entry-level to mighty pricey pro) than most shops, particularly for such a small store. Plus, their fabulous service and support and just plain coolness makes me feel a lot of loyalty; and I practically grew up haunting the place. But- if nothing pans out there, and I want something that Coast to Coast Music carries, I'll DEFINITELY point my browser there first! Thanks!
