The Steel Guitar Forum

got bit by the bug a couple of weeks ago and bought a Recording King RG 31 lap steel. so I was still gassing and decided to put a couple of the electrics (Strat and Tele)on CL. sold off one of the Strats today (still got three,Custom Thinline Tele is still for sale) and bought a Recording King RR60-VS. looked at GC,and a couple of pawn shops. they had a nice Fender A/E roundneck at one of the pawn shops,I had a Hohner A/E roundneck a couple of years ago,but just never bonded with it. the RR60 was brand new and it was $5 cheaper than the used Fender. so far I'm really liking the sound,feel,quality of the RK. only one crappy phone pic of it sitting in it's case.

Jon,

Congrats on your purchase(s). I know what it is like to get bitten by the bug fortunately new guitar itis is a "decease" that is easy to live with.

forgot to mention that I bought this at the same Mom & Pop store that I bought the RK lap steel from. this thing almost hurts my ears when I'm playing (well in my case,attemtping to play)it,it's so loud.

here's the spec's on it:

an experienced dobro player at work told me some of the things to look for when purchasing: hand spun cone,ebony saddles,bone nut and good tuners. this seems to fit that criteria. what do you guys think of it as an entry level reso/dobro?
