Digging that rusty one. Great sound. Very focused.

Thanks

I've always been a fan of the wood body resonators and these 2 miniolians are killer! I personally think they sound the best and they're beautiful to look at. Republic just got a batch of both of these wood miniolians into inventory and I'm gonna make one of them mine!! Thanks for the great video. It sure helped make my mind up although I didn't need much help. Thanks again.

[@BuddaGuedes]

Great!! You’ll love it

[@montemichelbleu]

Very comprehensive demo. Thank you so much.

That brass parlor guitar is astounding sounding. I wonder if they all have that tone to them? It's making me really want one. This was a great demo of the Republic Resonators. Thank You

[@BuddaGuedes]

You’re welcome

Ah so now I know who bought all the Republic resonators...awesome playing. Wish I could find one.

[@BuddaGuedes]

Eh! Eh!

Thanks for this demo. Someone nearby is selling the shiny silver one, with the triple fret marker, with a pickup added. Yours sustains the buzz like a sitar. The sitar sound is cool. The brass finished parlor sounded more "Hawaiian" and country than as swampy as the others, to me. I also liked the bright wooden parlor. They're all nice in their own ways. The dark wooden parlor was almost banjo-y. I really like that silver sitar. Man

Thanks a lot!!!!

Thanks for posting!! I recently discovered resonators and have spent a couple weeks doing research, I decided Republic was the best option for my price range. I ordered their brass parlor guitar after seeing this video, it’s got great tone.

[@BuddaGuedes]

It’s a great alternative with a very reasonable price

[@gobigrey9352]

Just incredible. Great playing. Yes I now want one again.

[@BuddaGuedes]

Thanks a lot

[@tartsulb]

looks like a rocky Mtn. slide !

[@ramblinjay3816]

I got the swamp dog parlor. Probably my favorite guitar in the world.

[@BuddaGuedes]

Eh! Eh!

[@gobigrey9352]

Dang it! Now I'm gonna want one again. No wait, NEED one! Can't wait to watch

[@BuddaGuedes]

Eh! Eh!

Such great instruments! I have a republic tricone and it’s on par with some of the nationals I’ve played! You should totally check out the tricones if you haven’t already. I find that they sound “prettier” than the single cones. Keep up the great videos!

[@jacobm7421]

Whats the neck carve like?

[@joecontreras5068]

You can order the same instrument from China through Ali Express for about $300 - thats where he gets them from- look for yourself

[@BuddaGuedes]

I don’t get mine from Ali Ecpress

[@joecontreras5068]

@@BuddaGuedes I know- You get them from Austin Texas

[@BuddaGuedes]

They are made in China but designed in the USA

[@gobigrey9352]

Haha, the ones I liked the most are your personal ones. I like the shiny one the best, nice and bright. The gold had a nice soft amd delicate tone with more reverb.

[@BuddaGuedes]

EhEh! Eh! Thanks a lot

[@joelpearson8310]

Your video is very helpful. There are no republic dealers anywhere near me, where I live in the United States. I had to take a chance and I just ordered my first one offline. I'm excited to get to play a resonator for the first time

[@BuddaGuedes]

What model have you picked up?

[@David-oe7cc]

Great review man! Best i've seen in a while. candid

[@BuddaGuedes]

Thanks a lot.

You playing that good music from my neck of the woods 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍 you can really play my friend. I really like your video's have a great Sunday

[@BuddaGuedes]

Thanks a lot for your support

A very nice review. I just bought a Bright Nickel Parlor Rocket--Republic did a very refined setup for me, with "10's". My hands are very old and beaten up, so I know I will like the short scale. I saved this and will report back. The people at Republic are special and I was able to spend a long time on the phone with their setup man. Since I build acoustics and some LP style electrics, and I do repairs and very precise setups myself, we communicated well.

[@BuddaGuedes]

Great to know that. Please let us know

[@l8sk8r86]

Nice video and channel, thank you!

[@BuddaGuedes]

Thanks a lot

Indeed , The Republics own their niche of falling between the typical Asian Imports with haphazard quality control and poor to zero setup , and the full on hand built . BUT string sets marked as " Resonator " by John Pearce and everyone else are intended for Lap Style playing with a Tone Bar, in the ubiquitous dobro tuning of GBDGBD . They are not intended for round neck instruments , or even occasional fretted playing . On their website , Republic specifies their recomended string gages , of 12's .

[@joecontreras5068]

They are made in China and they are haphazard quality- they shouldn’t charge a thousand and up for a $ 300 resonator from China

[@filianablanxart8305]

Republic's position is they treat the product as it comes from China simply as raw materials , and then do substantial work to them in Texas to bring up to their standards . Do they actually ? I dunno , I haven't been there to look .

[@BuddaGuedes]

They don’t feel nor sound cheap. It’s not just because they are made in China they should be cheap. My MacBook and iPhone are both made in China...

[@BuddaGuedes]

I like the guitars very much and known 3. The feel better than fender or dean resonators

[@joecontreras5068]

@@filianablanxart8305 you better take a better look - there’s not much substantial work you can do to something that has absolutely no fine adjustments- all you have is a bridge on a biscuit and a nut - lets see you fine tune that
