There are a lot of makes for under $500. Just stay away from the epiphone biscuit one. The reason I say this is because you can't put a 16 gauge string on it, it's built to light.

Regal has a few for under $500.

I always put a reso string on mine though so I can play hard. Regular guitar strings just sound to weak.

do you recomend round or sqaure neck, is there a sound difference?

[al0102030405]

It's really a matter of preference I guess. I find it much easier to play a round neck than a squareneck. I like a slide rather than a bar.

Though I am trying to learn on a squareneck as well.

@al0102030405 A great guitar brand is Republic Guitars. I have a miniolian biscuit bridge dobro and it's great. Less than $500 also. They are made right in Texas plus! BTW great improvision. what are you using for a slide? I suggest a copper pipe.

How do you do that? Ive tried everything I can't get that sound.

[BriboyW]
