The neat thing about resonator guitars is that most of the tone is in the tin pan that sits under the strings, so I (actually Ty at <a title=\"GW\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oahu.com\/guitar-works\/\" target=\"_blank\">Guitar Works<\/a>)  replaced the one that came with it with a <a title=\"cone\" href=\"https:\/\/www.beardguitars.com\/Merchant2\/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&amp;Store_Code=RO&amp;Product_Code=BC-1&amp;Category_Code=RC\" target=\"_blank\">spun aluminum jobbie<\/a> from <a title=\"much better than mine!\" href=\"http:\/\/www.beardguitars.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Beard Guitars<\/a> and put in an <a title=\"ebony on top, maple below\" href=\"https:\/\/www.beardguitars.com\/Merchant2\/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&amp;Store_Code=RO&amp;Product_Code=EBS-17&amp;Category_Code=BI\" target=\"_blank\">ebony\/maple bridge<\/a> and it sounds awesome.<\/p>\n<p>The recording is through two matched Oktava mics set in an X about  level with the twelfth fret from about three feet away to get a little  of the room. I am going to try some different positions, maybe putting one mic on the resonator and the second a ways back to pick up the room ambiance next.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Update<\/span>: I had the good fortune of playing a 1936 Dobro today and have come to appreciate that a vintage Dobro has certain advantages over the Rogue!
