Thanks for visiting the Burke Resophonic website. The custom instruments pictured here are built by me in my shop here in Freeport, Maine. The designs are my own, based on instruments I've seen and played. The solid wood, open construction "modern" style body type is where I've focused much of my effort in new construction, but I'm by no means locked into one type, style or method; I'll work with each client to produce the resonator guitar that best fits your objectives. As a player I appreciate how differently we all hear and process sound. I can help you define and understand some of the elements of design and construction that influence the final product.
Repairs and Setup
I'm equipped to handle most resonator guitar repairs and setup work. Many relatively inexpensive instruments can be dramatically improved in tone, volume and sustain by upgrades to hardware and proper interior and action setup.
