I love the sound of dobro/resonator guitars! I usually try one out at every guitar store I go to. Alas, my music doesn't call for it. PDT_008

They are great-they have a distinctive tone which is difficult to describe but once you know it you know it forever. I have lusted (yes I said lusted) after one for ages. They tend to be loud and are used for slide playing
This will give you an idea of what they sound like:
