REDLINE USED 2018 "THE STOWE" RESONATOR GUITAR
This resonator is being sold in our shop on consignment so the price is firm.
Ferrell Stowe has been well known in the resophonic guitar community for some time. Top current players credit him as an influence, and his long list of credits as both a sideman and a solo recording artist have added mightily to the catalog of dobro music in bluegrass.
"What we have done here is to incorporate Ferrell’s design of a unique baffling system inside our resophonic guitar design. We moved some braces and sound posts around a bit to accommodate these baffles. In designing this baffle system, Ferrell looked at how the sound waves react inside the guitar. These baffles are there to take what might have otherwise been ‘wasted sound waves,’ which are now sort of corralled and directed up and out of the two sound rings in the upper bout of the guitar. A recent quote from Ferrell goes something like this, ‘We’re just treating sound waves as the movement of air at our desired frequency.’ The result, I must say, is pretty astounding! Even though this guitar is the classic R-Body size and shape, it can over-power many large body resophonic guitars out there, even some that we have built! Ferrell even laughs at the fact that his ‘The Stowe’ can keep up with, or even exceed the volume level of the banjos he has run across since he got this guitar!"
"Getting deeper into the specifications, we use our own special alloy cast aluminum RLR spider, coupled with a U.S. made Replogle cone. Ferrell requested an all maple bridge insert, so that is what we use. We tried an ebony capped bridge insert, but the aged maple seems to be the best fit for these guitars. "
