Someone added an extra zero to the price.

That's a lot of metal! Do you change all the strings at one time or just as you feel the need?

Byrl Murdock makes a very nice resonator guitar; Rob Ickes is probably most visible endorser. I got to mess around with one at last year's Resosummit in Nashville and was very impressed. I'll be going to Resosummit again this year (although it's now called Rob Ickes' Slide Fest).

The duets are brilliant. Who knew Lady Gaga could sing ? Anyone with a good ear. Tony Bennett got along with a lot of female singers; she's one of the great ones.

Looks like a fun (if unintended) project! I've fixed up a couple of really cheap resonators in the past, including one where instead of leveling the spider they used little pieces of metal to ensure the legs touched the cone.

I'll try to buy something from you and have you deliver it to me here in San Francisco.

centrum.org/vintage-jazz-workshop/From Hot Jazz to Western Swing, Rags to Beguines, we will be offering Red Hot in-person classroom instruction on guitar, tenor banjo, mandolin, violin, steel guitar, and bass at Fort Worden State Park. Some classes will be available for audit online. This may be quite a ways away from you (outside Seattle) but if you have any interest in this type of music, it's certainly worth it.

I first saw David Lindley with Jackson Browne at Fullerton College gymnasium in Fullerton, CA around 1973. Linda Ronstadt was the opening act.
I saw him several other times with Jackson Browne (especially the Universal Amphitheater in Los Angeles), with El Rayo X, and in duos with Hani Nasr and later on Wally Ingram.
One of the most memorable shows was at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, where he broke two strings during the same song and was unable to keep playing because he was laughing so hard.
He was a major lap steel player, probably the main reason most lap steel players sound the way they do. I last saw him at the Fillmore for a reunion of El Rayo X in 1989.
The few times I met him personally he always had a twinkle in his eye. Rest easy, Mr. Lint Free. Condolences to your family and many friends throughout the world.

As we sit around a dead tree eating candy out of a sock, may I also wish a Merry Christmas to those who celebrate, a Happy Holidays to everyone else.
Stay warm and dry if you can. Celebrate your friends and family while they're here.

I might have the Bakelite part somewhere in my stack o' stuff. Let me do some exploring in the garage and get back to you.

This is about an hour long, but it's pretty interesting.

I've never heard of an Anvil brand guitar, either resonator or non-resonator. Anvil road cases are well known, though.
Please share a photo of the guitar in question.
