Resonator pick-up

Post by Roy Campbell »

I have an old Guvnor resonator with an under saddle strip pick-up. When I plug it in to any amp or DI the 1st and 2nd strings don't have anywhere near the same volume as the rest. I've changed the strip twice with the same result every time. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

That is not a maker that I'm familiar with so, more detail or photos are encouraged.

Spider, biscuit, tri-cone or "other" type of resonator. Magnetic, piezo or "other" type of pickup?

Roy what style of bridge and cone does this instrument have. See Howard’s reply for examples of what we are asking about.
