The Rayco Resonator "Dobro Banjo"
Ross Nickerson Signature Model
The ResNick "patent pending"
Announcing the birth of the "The ResNick" resophonic banjo by Rayco Resophonics. This "Banjonator" as I like to call it was born from idea of mine and the design of top Resophonic Guitar "Dobro" builders Mark Thibeault and Jason Friesen at Rayco Resophonics. Their dobro's are beautiful sounding instruments, I am extremely excited about the new banjo dobro sound and appearance. The ResNick also features a specially designed Fults tailpiece made by top banjo tailpiece maker and designer Bob Fultz
