where can i find narrow dobro cone to fit in a solid body?

Kristen Bruno · From: Orlando, Florida, USA

I have seen and heard a few of the solid body resonators most of them don't have a sound that is realistic for me (except for maybe a Sollophonic Smile

and I have no idea how much these babies cost Sad

, another one was a national resolectric which didn't sound as good to me but is very expensive Shocked

).

I was thinking about experimenting around with a cheap solid body guitar I have. I need to find a very narrow cone and assorted other hardware to fit into a solid body. i don't think an apple pie plate will cut it! Any suggestions Very Happy

?

A biscuit-bridge cone might work:

Gary Anwyl has a page documenting his resolectric conversion (using a biscuit cone) here:
