Is there a resonator guitar with a P90 out there mass produced? That's got to make an original, nasty sound for slide blues...

Don't know if one is fitted with a P90 but my Donmo can be fitted with a McIntyre PUP as an option. Try Glavonised cutaway single cone on the home page is mine and I play it as much as I can.

the National Resolectric and Resolectric Jr. have a P90.

A P90 can be fitted to any resonator style guitar. The big chalange you will have is controling feedback. A resonator will respond the same way an acoustic insrtument will. When you play with any volume you will have to be careful how close you are standing to your amp, the amount of gain and volume you use will contribute to this problem. Wax dipping the PUP will help a lot. Isolate the PUP cavity with foam or wood and it should be saeier to control. A lot of Jazz players who use archtop guitars stuff the instrument with foam quot;Fquot; hole plugs to avoid the feedback. I've seen photos of George Bensen with tape over the holes. I agree that a P90 in a Dobro would be an awsome tone, but the feedback issue will need to be resolved.

Curly's recommendation of the Resolectric is a good one they are a real good electric slide guitar. With recognizable Dobro tones. But they have a tendency to feedback also. It would be interesting to see what Eric Sardinas does to minimize the feedback. He plays with a lot of volume and gain and manages to use the feedback in a unique way.
