Kris. If you don’t already plan to.I strongly suggest you bring one of your reso guitar with pickup when you try out the Milkman or other amps. My gut feeling is the signal coming off a hollow body metal instrument with be very different than a wooden body guitar and the amplifier will perform differently.
Just to muck things up I will float the suggestion to try out an acoustasonic type of amplifier like the ones used with acoustic guitars. It has a broader response which perhaps a resophonic guitar would like. Hoping others comment on this.

The pickups are effectively a humbucker (slimline) and single coil (on the hotplate) I think it'll be absolutely fine - it will be a coloured sound to varying degrees but should be a really good colour. The hollow body may shouldn't pose a problem any more than a hollow body electric or what they call "semi-acoustic", so increased chance of feedback but amp quality and valve headroom should cope. An acoustic amp is more transparent with a wider frequency response and will work best with microphonic inputs and the type of pickup designed to reproduce the sound as faithfully as possible, (Highlander etc) but I don't think that's the aim here.

Kris, Opinions will of course vary on this type of subject, but one thing that everyone agrees about is that you should test amps with your own guitar. I always test stuff with my own equipment, especially amplifiers, otherwise I have no idea what is going on. Strange guitar, strange amp in a strange room, is not a good recipe for a fair test. I have spent forty years recording music in studios and I have a very good understanding of what studio monitors and different rooms do to sound. I also know exactly what I sound like when recorded, but I still always bring recordings home to hear them on my own system in my room. Even my system in another room sounds different.
Shine On Michael
