Hi,
What is a good current production resonator guitar? I’ve read great reviews of the Gretsch Bobtail:
Anyone have experience with resonators that you’d recommend? I’m looking to take a plunge relatively soon.

Specifically, the biscuit (bridge) of my Epiphone Biscuit Resonator was screwed into the cone, which it absolutely should not be attached at all. It should be free to move and resonate. Apparently this is a pretty common problem with a lot of resonators that are made overseas
