Old Lowe Cone - Reso CBG by Uncle John

Posted by Uncle John on November 20, 2010 at 5:21pm
Open G tuned 4 string. (DGBD). Nice tone with good volume. Does not sound banjo-like. Very pleased with cone from Old Lowe for $25. Good tone, good action. Some times they come out right. :) I don't need no stinkin' reso cover. Like the cone like it is.

    Hey George, thanks for the kind comments.  No big advice on the Lowe.  Best to have a 7 or more inch box.  Could probably sand down the outside edges for a 6.5 inch.  Keep aware of scale length ending where the biscuit goes.  Brass screws look good.  Makes a good 4, but I think a 3 would be very good.   I really like mine.  Hope the same for you.

    I just ordered one of those cones a few days ago. Any advice? I will be my first reso build. I like the bald cone too. I'm going to do the same thing.

    I got a cone from Old Lowe today. Can you share what you did for the biscuit?
