As a banjo picker coming to this fascinating world of the Reso Guitar I'm
somewhat surprised by the lack of variety of what's out there for bridge
inserts.
Banjo pickers are constantly searching for the perfect bridge to bring out
the best tone, volume and playability of their instruments. There is Hard
maple, old maple, submerged maple, ebony topped, purple tops then fossilized
ivory inserts into the ebony, bone inserts into ebony and lots of variations
of each.
Is it that dobro bridges do not lend themselves to being easily swapped out
or is this a niche that really hasn't been properly explored yet?
