Expand your sonic palette
If you’re, let’s say, a rock or jazz practitioner, why would you want a resonator guitar? If you already play the guitar, you know how easy it is to augment your musical palette with different textures simply by adding another guitar — such as a Nashville-tuned or 12-string — to your stable of instruments. The resonator guitar offers yet another unique sonic signature, ranging from sweet and ringing to aggressively bold and brash, depending on whether you prefer a wood- or metal-bodied one. If you already play slide guitar or wish to add the technique to your repertoire, a resonator is the perfect vehicle. In which case, you’ll have a choice of roundneck or squareneck models, the latter of which is played like a lap steel. And bass players will surely appreciate the unique tones on tap in a resonator bass guitar! Whatever you go for, Sweetwater has the perfect Gold Tone resonator guitar to make your music sing.
Gold Tone: a legacy of music
The origins of Gold Tone go back to the folk music scene of the ’70s, when musicians Wayne and Robyn Rogers opened a small music shop. Fifteen years later, they founded Gold Tone Banjos in Titusville, Florida. Their first product, the TB-100 banjo, was designed by Wayne. As demand for this critically acclaimed instrument increased, the company expanded its offerings to include a selection of fretted instruments that combine modern innovation and timeless vintage design. The goal? To inspire all musicians, from beginners to professionals, to realize their musical dreams. Today, Sweetwater is pleased to offer you Gold Tone’s exciting range of 4-, 5-, and 6-string banjos, metal- and wood-bodied resonator guitars, Weissenborn Hawaiian steel guitars, and mandolins.
