Resonator Guitar

A resonator guitar is a type of acoustic guitar designed to produce louder sound by using metal cones, called resonators, instead of a traditional wooden soundboard. These metal cones amplify the vibrations of the strings, creating a distinctive, bright, and ringing tone. Resonator guitars are often used in blues, country, and folk music for their unique sound and increased volume, especially in solo or acoustic settings. They can be played with a slide or fingerpicking, and are valued for their rich tonal qualities and historical significance in American music.
