Resonator Slide Blues Improv in Open D

Here's another blues Improv in Open D on my Busker Delta. I cut off the ending because I lost it a bit, but I kind of like the last part. I might try and work on it a bit more.

what brand is that?

[SwiftMelon]

@speedRickspeed It's a busker, that's the actual brand. Just google Busker Guitars. They're based out of the UK. Even with the exchange rate and shipping cost it's still hard to find a better resonator under $2,000. Republic resonators are great too, very similar in price and build but the ones I was looking at were out of stock when I was looking to buy. They're based out of the US so it's cheaper shipping, and as far as I know their guitars are built in the same warehouse as Busker's.

@SwiftMelon And you bought it from their website? Just ordering? It's such a nice sound.....I'm thinking of getting one too..... I believe the model you play here is a 'Delta' ?

[SwiftMelon]

@speedRickspeed Yeah right from the site. What I did was first sent an email just saying I'm interested in a resonator but not sure exactly which one. There is a guy there named Robin who got in contact with me and was a huge help. Sometimes there are slight variations in the models they make so he gave me options in which one I wanted. You can tell them about your playing style and they'll set the guitar up properly for you before they ship it. Ask them about the blue diamond glass slide too.

I really enjoyed this video. I have a Michael Messer Blues Resonator and am loving this style of playing.

Sounds great! BTW I hear the action on resonators are usually pretty high, but that looks like a regular action. Was it made that way?
