zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Strung with Fender Phosphor 60Ls. Spruce top.

There seems to be no end to the music that sounds great on a resonator guitar: Delta blues, rock, bluegrass, swampy slide. Whatever styles you play acoustic, the resonator will give it a whole new sound and looks great, from the resonator, to the finish, to the custom Fender "F" holes! Available in Black or Sunburst.

Fender FR50 Resonator Customer Review

Overall: 3.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I bought it for my students to use but find myself picking it up often. I don't plan on replacing it.
Sound
I teach guitar and bought this to keep around for student use. The sound quality is not far bellow my national or dobro.
Features
Had to replace the bridge and nut to get better sustain. Adding a pick-up would be nice.
Quality
Decent wood and construction. Hardware could be of better quality (The Spider and cone are okay but the nut and bridge-bone needed to be replaced).
Value
Can't get any better for the money.
