If you like blues guitar as much as I do, you probably like the sound of a good Dobro. A true Dobro brand resonator is good to have. Most resonators are called "dobros" but that's like calling all soft drinks "Coke". Dobro is a brand of resonator guitars.
There's two basic types of necks that a resonating guitar can have. They can have a square neck. These guitars are meant to be played laying across one's lap. Then there are round neck resonating guitars. These are meant to be played like a traditional guitar. I prefer round necks because they are more versatile. One can still lay a round neck guitar in one's lap and play it like a lap steel, but one can't play a square neck resonating guitar like a traditional guitar. So, for me, it makes sense to just stick with the round necks.
There are some great resonators out there. Visit Used Acoustic Guitar and do a search for "dobro" or "resonator". You should be able to find a bunch of cool deals.
