Fine Resophonic®
Guitars have been in business since 1992
and in
that time have gained an excellent reputation.
They have built resonator guitars for among others -
Eric Clapton,
Louisiana Red, Michael Messer and Bob Brozman.
Each instrument is completely hand-built to the very highest
standards possible
and the attention to detail is faultless.
These guitars play, feel and sound like vintage Nationals... they
really do.
If you are looking for a hand-built guitar with all the
qualities of a vintage National,
contact Mike Lewis at Fine Resophonic Guitars.
"I believe that Mike Lewis at Fine Resophonic makes the finest National
style
resophonic guitars in the world...I own three of them" - Michael
