Those strings are designed for Open G Major Tuning (G, B, D, G, B, D) but the owner however tunes down a half step to Open G Flat Major (Gb, Bb, Db, Gb, Bb, Db) & then puts the converter capo on the 1st fret to get the regular Open G Major pitch.
I used to spin the reso cones for EMI (Original Music Instriments) back in the mid 80s. Don Young taught me how to do this.I was a machinist so it was not to bad learning. BIG learning curve to spin them.Don owned National Resophonic guitars.I love resos,good job and video Dave ....cheers.
0:13 The Black Keys Tuning. You can play music by Curtis Mayfield on this.
That device is a Dunlop Capo/Slide Converter
I got hold of a 2013 Dean "Resurrection" spalted maple spider bridge prototype resonator guitar that had been in the storage vault at the Dean factory in Tampa, FL. The build looks identical to the Dean spider bridge resonator you're showing here, except for different veneer, binding and hardware on mine. The first thing I noticed when I got my Dean reso was that some hamfister had way overtightned the cone adjustment screw, which distorted the spider bridge and kinda flattened the cone. So...I installed a new Replogle spider bridge, hand-tooled cone and maple-ebony split-compensated saddle. Now my Dean is truly resurrected!
I couldn't have stopped myself from trying to fix that dent, and then probably order a new cone :)
The only way to fix the dent safely is to press it out against a curved former. I made such a former a few years ago, having got a few of these (not necessarily Deans, but resonators) through my workshop over the last 20 years or so. Once the cone is secure in the former, I roll an old rubber handled Stanley screwdriver under thumb pressure over such a dent. The metal of the cone is usually a fairly thin, press-formed aluminium, sometimes anodised, sometimes in older Dobro types, it can be a laminated tin or even something else entirely. However, the material is usually thin enough to press out - carefully - without too much trouble. The rubber handle on the screwdriver seems to fit the arc of such cones quite well and of course doesn't scratch them up.
All I can think of is you tapping it with a hammer one way and in the end completely trashing it like in the episode of Father Ted when they get a car as a raffle prize
Could it be that the cone was dented to change the tone?
LOL - I love that episode!
Great Guitar
Who is the owner of this Guitar? Yeah the Converter Capo allows you to play it like a Square Neck Resonator Guitar & if you want to you can pull it off lower the action & play it like a Regular Guitar.
I had a resonator too,but didn't know about the pickup adjustments.Great job Dave 👍😎✌🎸
Always wanted a resonator. I think they sound cool as hell.
I'd like one too, but they're so damn heavy.
Cozart makes a resonator that can be had quite cheaply on ebay
The spring goes on the top of the cone under the spider bridge.
Great video. Never seen one apart before but Im gaining a whole new respect for these things,
I've got one of these - non-piezo - and i love it. Great resonator for the money.
Some Dingus was inside that thing! The Dingus dented it when he was in there!
He dinged it
HELLO DAVE IM a reso guy ...THE BLUES... thanx for the ka.noladge.. awsome ..i have a dobro style johnson spider cone after watchn you ,now im not afraid to open her up, and give her a good cleaning THANK you as uncle would say...ONE MOOORE THING!.. i wish you would have takin' a slide to that dean ...I bet IT ripps now that you fixed HER...
why does no one like this stuff i liked it man
Now I want to take mine apart and check it. Thanks!
I hope your Happy Every day!!Dave have a great weekend,Cheers
Fascinating . who knew?
Great fix Dave, Cheers
Interesting indeed.
It could use a dog eared p90 where those three little holes are . It should also be run through a Fishman pre-amp with a volume and tone control. Those piezo deals are not a great sound on their own.
You’re the best! This was a good thing or two about a thing or two educational vid. Lol Just got a Dean Resonator. Trying understand the fundamentals of “action” right now. Seems like it’s a little high.
Great job Dave , just subscribed keep up good work !
The cone got bent from someone trying to pry out the pickup with a screwdriver and using the edge of the cone a fulcrum point.
I don't think I've seen many cones that messed up!
nice hubcap
Killer vid.......thanks Dave!
First time with a resonator...cherry has been popped
Allan Allan. ?????
How much neck relief and where to check it? My cone has a bit of rattle or buzz? What to look for? Can you help me with that? tightness of cone? Mine is an old Sho-Bro guitar.
That was cool.
Cool!
We are from France beldar
Thanks Jane
Best video
Can you convert the high action to a lower action without ruining the sound quality. I can't strum mine because it's action is far to high. Thanks.
Just pull that converter capo off
Great video what strings do you recommend..Your faves etc. Thanks
You need Acoustic Guitar strings. For lighter strings you have to string them below the tailpiece lip to get more break angle over the bridge.
that things cool
good home measuring device for neck relief if you don't have gauges ?
You can use guitar strings .010" .012" .013" .016" are really all you need
And first! I've always wanted to see one of these worked on, I think that these guitars are so off the wall cool!
Those donut piezoelectric pickups are just awful and worse on a resonator cone. Also all original OMI dobros and top shelf makers do not use a spring anywhere on the cone. The tension screw is tightened until the slightest tension is felt and then only turn the screw up to a quarter turn or you will risk damaging the cone.
Hey I think I've seen that guitar at guitar center. Looks like a funny guitar
Can someone with guitar knowledge tell me what is he sliding behind the strings ?It looks like he is measuring the distance between the strings and the frets but what determines what is good more space between the strings and frets ? And why please ...thankyou
With a capo on the first fret and the string held down at the 17th fret Dave is measuring the clearance with a feeler gauge in the middle of the neck (.018 inches is the target I believe he uses) he then adjusts the truss rod to make the neck more or less bowed to adjust it to that clearance.
Phillip Brown thank you phillip
Lol much better than my Rogue Chinese cheepy. At least this one plays.
And these are the same company that made guitars for Dimebag Darrel.
I own their very inexpensive bass. It plays pretty decent but its no PBass.
I had a Dean guitar,it was beautiful...the tone was ok....but the intonation was horrible..i took it to a couple guitar techs who said it would cost a fair amount of money to fix compared to what i paid for it so i sold it for what i paid for it used
Why the concern with neck relief on a resonator guitar set up to be played exclusively with slide?
if you just listen to this video it sound more like someone stealing hubcaps. haha,
I feel like I've seen this video before.
Dave has worked on a resonator before and has gone more in depth about the cone and all... it was pretty dirty in there if I remember correctly
I passed on a Chinese fender resonator a few weeks ago, it pure filth, the dirtiest guitar over ever seen/ smelt. After watching this vid, I could have resuscitated that thing, but probably still have the stink in my minds nostril......
Dave!!!
we stopped using the resonators at our house decades ago. got a gas furnace now.
Resonation for the Nation
Play that funky tuning white boy.
See ? No dust in the universe will make it sound like that. What the hell Dave ? How can you say that ?
No need to be 4 mil.
this is nonsense
Why don't you never try this guitars first. You always find their necks to straight. Don't you wonder why. You immediately transform them into bananas. No truss road tension no tone. Learn a little guitar. It will help your work.
You're new here, aren't you.
lolocfmjpwp0kjcxsa i am here from the beginning. How do you think I know that he doesn't try the guitars. Bending strings and every thing. He just play some base. You can't set everything to 12 thou release. 12 thou is just for vintage 7.25 inch radius. 10 thou is for 9.5 or much less. You can't treat every guitar the same no matter what. You first try the guitar. Not for sound but for playability to. So no I am not new here.
Dave is so wrong and still you keep watching...
Troll much?
Thank you so much for fixing UA-cam for all of us!
Learn a little guitar? Why don't you learn English?
