Comment by Randy S. Bretz on September 18, 2011 at 1:35pm: http://handmademusic.ning.com/photo/scotts-biscut-bridge?context=user the 41 mm piezo elements [ 1 1/2" round] work real nice for reso biscuits.

Comment by Brett Saul on August 20, 2011 at 9:47am: I do have one of those pups, Ted. It is a little to tall for my liking, so I did not use it. Maybe when I can do an angled neck, I can use a higher bridge.

Comment by Ted Crocker on August 20, 2011 at 9:30am: I've made a few for members with 2 piezos embedded in the biscuit and they say the sound is rich and full. My shop is closed until after I move, I'll have more the end of September.

Comment by Wade on August 19, 2011 at 2:20am: Brett , I've had best results with pickups in or under biscuit. Wherever there is a bit of string pressure on the piezo(if a piezo is what you have on mind)

Comment by Brett Saul on August 18, 2011 at 11:19am: Just finished this Resonator

Since it has a string through body design, experimenting with piezo placement is really difficult. Any recommendations? Should I mount to the cone or the box?

Thanks

Comment by malcolm haines on August 16, 2011 at 4:27am: Forgot in the last post from me...

I am currently working on a beer can resonator. Good excuse to finish a six pack!

Comment by malcolm haines on August 16, 2011 at 4:26am: love my resonators. I invested heaps in a Nashville tricone resonator. Its a beast with strings like steel cable and a nickel coated brass body. My first guitar build (which I still keep) was a resonator too! Who need amps?

Comment by Richard Stark on August 8, 2011 at 12:52am: This is a license plate from 1951 foound on an abandoned truck.... Yes I needed a tetanus shot after building it......

Comment by Richard Stark on August 8, 2011 at 12:51am: Not sure if it qualifies as a true reso...but theres a cake pan in it with a single coil with a piezo under it. I Retained the stock bridge. Totally free build with crap I had laying around.
