I Know I'm late to the game on this one... I have 10+ resonator guitars. Most are vintange Nationals tho I also have a few Dobros, NRPs and Republics. I Love 11-48s on all of them! They have done so much for my tone and my playing. I like Slinkys (purple pack) because they are cheap, easy to find and have an unnwound 3rd. I know that they are supposedly for electric guitars, but they work hgreat on all of mine too. I play finger style and (mostly) slide, inn open G and even tuned down to key of F and I never have a problem with tension even to my actions are fairly low. This video is one of my Nationals with these strings...

I used a citrus based paint stripper and it came right off. and yes, it was a significant and positive difference in the tone.

If you like Hal Blaine, or even if you don’t know who he is, the documentary theWrecking Crew on prime is a must see!

If the cones in the RK are Continental, no need to replace them. The Continentals are very good. I don't know how you'd tell tho...

It's a stop gap fix. Don't do it!

As always, I though Hubert Sumlin stole the show. What a cool cat he was! Sidemen documentary is next in my queue…

This isn't anything new, but it's excellent if you haven't seen it!

That was cool, thanks for sharing Harriett! His Triolian was a '31 I believe tho, not a "32.😏

Lum Guffin... wow. I didn't realize he had ever toured on the circuit. Thought he was more of a local performer. I would have loved to see him!

I love an unwound 3rd! But not as thinck as most recommend. I use and unwound 18g 3rd and it really has that old bluesy feel IMO. Any larger Gauge feels and sounds dead to me!

I have a '57. Really sweet guitar. Neck is a bit narrow at the nut, but nothing you can't adjust to...

It's a slang term derived from the movie Ferris Buller's Day Off. Good Luck finding a Mule. They have a HUGE wait list. I played one in a shop and was underwhelmed by the tone. Build quality was nice tho. I think I'd still prefer a NRP. Unless it's the Mule Mavis. I'd definitely jump on one of those!
