This instrument is a round-neck, fretted resonator guitar, and so it is not a steel guitar. Kindly consider moving this post to the "For Sale: Other Instruments" section, that is where the standard guitars are meant to be listed. Best regards and good luck selling that pretty guitar!

No, but it could be. I think it's in the right place; if I had the dough, I'd buy it for a friend who's looking at Dobros, and the price is right.
Good luck, Alan, hope it sells before I covet it too much--really; it's set up just how I'd like it, Humbucker, hidden controls and all.
It's not something one would just put a riser nut on, but get a good bone nut cut for it. I mean, this is a steel guitar.

Alan, you Republic guitar is indeed a steel guitar for the purposes of this Forum. It is correctly listed. If one does a search for National Guitar, for example, he will see there are many of these which over the years have been listed in this STEEL GUITARS section.

In fact, I found a round neck Republic resonator similar to yours there also. There are other brands of round-neck resonators there also.

Good luck with the sale of a very nice instrument at a good price. stevet

Thanks for all the supportive words about the Republic resonator. They are great resonators, for sure. By the way, upon occasion I will lay this one in my lap and use a bar to play it, other times, a bottleneck finger slide.
Thanks, Alan

If you guys keep talking how great these guitars are, I'm going to keep this one. I'm only selling it and another guitar to pay for an expensive (to me) guitar I just bought. For the bucks, you just can't get a better reso than a Republic.

I had a Republic tricone roundneck and a "resolian"--a parlor-sized roundneck with a single cone. They were a lot of bang for the buck. And Frank, the owner of Republic is a great guy. But let's get real--they don't sound like a National. There are some limits to what you can get "on the cheap."
