Can you explain the different kind of strings available for resonator guitars? Is there a "flat wound" string that reduces the bar movement noise?

Thank you
Frank Jessee

Greetings Frank,

Yes, you can use the flat wound strings...GHS makes a string that's pretty close called a rollerwound:

Here's what's available:

Bright Bronze GHS G Tuning Rollerwound: Cat. No. RB1600
Pure Nickel GHS G Tuning Rollerwound: Cat. No. 1600

Hope this helps, Mickey
