Resonator Guitar Converted From Old Acoustic Guitar
Intro: Resonator Guitar Converted From Old Acoustic Guitar
I had this old acoustic guitar and decided to convert it to an electric resonator guitar.....I'm retired in Costa Rica and my tools and resources are limited so it's more work with what you have.....The cone is an angel-food cake pan......The cover plate I made from an aluminum pot lid.......The electronics and pickups (Stratocaster style takeoffs) I ordered on ebay...... I refinished the whole guitar and added new frets........The cutout is popsicle sticks glued, filled with wood filler, and sanded smooth.......

How is the "bridge" pickup held in place?
I think I'm going to do this same conversion with a cheap 12 string I have.
