Looking to get a second acoustic, and thought for tonal variery, to try a resonator, but don't know too much about them. I see that Gretsch has recently released a few and am interested in either the Alligator or Boxcar (biscuit vs spider). Does anybody have any experience with either of these?
Also, although I'm tending towards a wood body, what are the good points of going all metal rather than wood? How heavy are the all metal resonators (parlor size).
Finally, can anybody provide any comparisons between Grestch resonators with the Republics? I realize that the Republics are all metal, but was just curious since the price point isn't that different.
Sorry for the newbie questions, and appreciate any help here. Thanks.
