Martin Alternative Resonator



A local craigs buy for 1/3 the cost of a National, with full electronics,
and carrying less than half the weight.

Way loud, even strung down to 13-59 (versus the factory 16-63 reso set) using a nickel 7 string set, minus the high E string.

Ever try a 2 fret bend on an 16 with your pinkie? Need to cut a new Micarta nut or super glue the high E notch to quiet that rattle though.

Currently tuned G minor.
Slide monster.
