 A wooden body resonator guitar doesn't have to be that expensive. Just look at these. Obviously the quality isn't as good as more expensive models, but they look nice and do give you the classic "honky" sound.

            Crestwood Dobro
            Nicely priced entry-level wooden-bodied resonator guitar with a really good sound for its price.

            Last time I looked Apollo's Axes was selling them at a discount price ($208). This may be a clearout sale since they started selling the Kay at about the same time.

            • Crestwood Dobro
              • Available from: Apollo's Axes
              • Price: USD 289 ( Checked 11/20/2005 )
              • Also available from:

                  Kay Round Neck Resonator Guitar
                  Here's what Apollo's Axes says about this guitar:
                  "If you are looking for a round neck resonator guitar, look no further. This guitar features a spruce top and a standard aluminum resonator cone."

                  This model is relatively new, and I don't know of anybody who's actually tried it, but it sure looks like a real bargain!

                    Features:
                  • Spruce top
                  • Mahogany back and sides
                  • Standard aluminum resonator cone
                  • Rosewood fingerboard with white binding
                  • Nickel silver frets
