I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees......








Sometimes a man needs to succour his soul. This is my latest addition to the guitar bank, a Vintage AMG1 Resonator.

The AMG1 is a bell brass bodied resonator, with a chrome finish and a rosewood neck.

It is a single cone resonator, loosely based upon a 1937 style O National guitar, and is best for blues slide guitar and ragtime finger picking. It plays best in open D and open G, and one slide up the neck transports you straight to the Mississippi delta.

All I need now is a porch.

Yes - like a new girlfriend you can cuddle and play along with but what about the old girlfriend - the nylon string classical that you have left right next to a RADIATOR! I will report you to the NSPCG if you don't move it forthwith!

A thing of beauty indeed. Is that like a Dobro? only ever saw one of them in the flesh before.

YP - The classical was moved next to the non-functional radiator in order to take the pics. Calm down.

TNR, yes it's like a dobro only a true dobro uses a different tuning.
