So many of our customers have been sending us video clips of them playing their new Red Line resophonic guitars and mandolins, that we decided to add a “Video Clips“ section to our website.
Be sure to check out this section of our website, and see how our instruments sound to you.
Also, if you are a current Red Line owner, and would like to submit a video, mail it to us HERE! We’d be glad to consider adding it to our growing collection.
We recently loaned one of our Red Line Resophonic guitars to local (Nashville) picker Rob Haines. This multi-talented gunslinger is the same guy that did a YouTube video of our Red Line Traveler mandolin last month. Rob learned how to play squareneck guitar directly from Josh Graves himself, so enjoy that classic reso. sound as Rob tickles the strings on this video . . .
This particular guitar is made with figured maple and a spruce top. This body is built in the classic resophonic guitar shape. We are working on another size and shape, but more about that after the holidays.
For now, we’ll close with a hearty “Merry Christmas” from the Smith famiy and the gang at Red Line Resophonics!!!
It seems we’ve had quite an increased interest in our Red Line Traveler flat, Army Navy style mandolins lately. It’s always a bit of “needles and pins” while the builder waits to hear back from the customer, once the hard work is done, and the instrument has shipped.
When all goes well, you are pleased when your customer gives you positive feedback. Well, that happened not once, but twice today. Walnut seems to be a popular choice for these Travelers, and that’s what the back and side wood was on these two.
This e-mail, just in from Fred S., after receiving his third RedLine Traveler:
“Wandering Walnut looks magnificent. You’re right about the figure in the top: it has a neat bearclaw in it. Tuned it up and strummed a few chords and notes, and, again, you’re right about the volume: it’s there! Beautiful tone, graceful neck, and lovely snowflake inlays on the fingerboard: thank you for that. She is, indeed, a honey.”
And here’s just some of what Ken O. up in Alaska had to say earlier today after receiving his custom RedLine Walnut Traveler:
“I LOVE IT!! I really mean it man, what a great instrument!! Thanks again, I will happily play it for many years to come! My wife likes it better than my other mandolin!”
But Ken didn’t stop there, look here to see him playing his brand new Traveler on YouTube. Pretty amazing, especially when you consider that he couldn’t have had it out of the box for more than an hour or two before recording this…
I’ll just say this about ResoSummit, it was amazing! Instructors, other students, everyone invloved was just so nice. I realized one thing I like about this business is the people that you meet. One of the most amazing folks I met happened to also become a Red Line Resophonics customer during ResoSummit. Meet Mr. Gaven Largent, all of 12 years old. Don’t let his age fool you. This young man can already play the fire out of a resophonic guitar (along with banjo and regular guitar, I am told). He is also just an all-around good guy, and very mature for his young age. When we were working out the specs for the guitar we would be building for him, you’d have thought I was dealing with an old sage. This kid knows what he wants, and he knows how to let you know, too!
Anyway, be on the lookout for this little picker packing a big guitar! It will be our first Large Body resophonic, and we are as excited about building it as we are to hear it when Gaven takes it for its first ride!
Here you can see Gaven holding a red-topped black Red Line Rambler. The other shot is with his grandfather on one side, and me on the other.
This just in from the March, 2009 issue of the fine publication, Vintage Guitar Magazine.
