6-String Acoustic Resonator Guitar Full Scale Resophonic, Accessory Kit Included
Please take a few moments to read through this manual and save for future reference. About Pyle PGA500BR Acoustic Resonator Guitar A resonator differers from an acoustic guitar because of the way in which it produces sound. Where an acoustic guitar amplifies the vibrations of the strings through their contact with the wooden soundboard or top via the bridge, a resonator instead amplifies the strings through the use of one or more metal coils which are in contact with the underside of the bridge.

Guitar Slides and Action Guitar action or guitar action height is the height of the guitar strings over the fretboard. Guitar action plays a big role in how a guitar feels to play. If the action is too high, the guitar will feel uncomfortable to play. If the action is too low, you will hear string buzzing. If you use a guitar slide on your Acoustic Resonator Guitar, you will likely prefer high action.
Resonator Cone Care Over time, aluminum resonator cones begin to lose volume and tone. This is due primarily to metal fatigue (caused by consistent string tension and vibration) and surface oxidation (think rust on steel). We recommend cone replacement after 2 years of regular playing. One sure way to get the best out of your Acoustic Resonator Guitar is to keep it clean. Not only will dust and lint build up kill the tone of your resonator, it also speeds up the oxidation process.
How to check the cone fit on a Resonator/Resophonic guitar 1. Please open the top cap of the PGA500BR resonator guitars, and ensure the following part is showed up we usually tighten the screw in the center. 6 www.PyleUSA.com 2. Guaranting that bracing and bottom cap is linked together, no any buzzing or other noise. 3. If you find some bracing is not linked very tight, please kindly use a small wood bar to fill the gap. The bottom cap could be moved a little, this is normal.

Tuning your Resonator Guitar with an electronic tuner is pretty straight forward. You put the tuner on your lap of clip it on the headstock and pluck the strings.
