Thread: Guitars!

Sweet man. Not my kind of thing (I'm a pristine all original kind 'o guy) but I'm impressed with the work.

Never knew this thread was here. Here's my pride and joy...well, one of them.


1930-31 National Triolian resonator.
Sweet sounding thing.

SIIIICCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did sooooooo much research on resonator guitars back in the day. Between National,Dobro and a host of others, I told myself that I've got to have one - one day. But literally got overwhelmed in wanting the most "authentic of the authentic" and got lost in the shuffle of what to buy and then I saw the price of the "originals"......lol and tapped out.

The history of why the resonator came to be for me, just like everything else that I find myself getting into, is completely fascinating. Some of the paint jobs or metal etchings also fascinated me.

All this to say .....thank you for sharing. I forgot how awesome those guitars are.

Thank you! Well it's not a Style O or a German Silver Tricone which is what I'd like to have. But it's got a beautiful tone if I'm not mistaken a Triolian is the guitar that Duane Allman played on "Little Martha." By the way, I play that song on it and it sounds just like his guitar
