Resonator / Resophonic Guitar Strings

Resophonic Guitar and Dobro Strings

Whether you’ve just your first resophonic guitar or have been playing one for decades, you can get the best resonator strings at discounted prices from Strings and Beyond. What is a resophonic guitar? Also called a resonator guitar or dobro guitar, this special fretless acoustic guitar with a metal plate and spun metal cones is louder than a typical acoustic. The design also gives the instrument a unique tone. Developed in the 1920s, a resonator guitar remains the best way to capture the authentic sound of vintage blues, roots-rock, bluegrass, Americana and dance orchestra music.

We carry resonator guitar strings from industry leaders such as D’Addario, GHS, John Pearse and Dunlop. Since these strings are heavier than traditional strings, they’re typically made with a phosphor bronze wrapping to increase brightness. They come in light, medium and heavy gauges for the right feel and playability.

All Types of Dobro Strings

Like a regular acoustic guitar, the resonator can be played in many ways, which requires different strings. There are lap steel dobro guitar strings for the square-necked version and more conventional strings for the round-necked instrument. Purchase strings that fit standard blues tuning, open-G tuning, Hawaiian A tuning or another setup. We also have baritone resophonic guitar strings with options for open-E and open-F.

Strings and Beyond has free U.S. shipping on qualifying orders over $35 — and most orders placed by 2 p.m. ET ship the same business day. We can answer questions about string design, dobro tuning and anything else you have on your mind. Call us at (877) 830-0722 to talk to a guitar string specialist.
