Golden GateResonator Guitar Extension Nut
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A drop-on nut riser that raises string height on a round-neck resonator so it can be played lap-style with a bar.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Converting a round-neck resonator to lap playing temporarily
- Learning Dobro technique without buying a square-neck guitar
- Players who switch between fretted and lap styles
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Square-neck resonators, which already have the needed height
- Anyone wanting a permanent setup change over a removable part
- Standard flattop acoustics, where fit is not guaranteed

Detail 02
Removable design
Slides on and off without tools or modification. The guitar returns to normal fretted play when you take it off.
Detail 03
Gold color
Cosmetic finish meant to blend with the gold hardware common on resonator coverplates and tailpieces.
Detail 04
Under ten dollars
Cheapest possible route to lap-style playing on a guitar you already own, versus buying a second instrument.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my guitar?
It is made for resonator guitars. Check your nut width and string spacing before ordering, since fit varies between makers and models.
02Does installing this damage the guitar?
No. It rests over the existing nut and comes off again. Nothing is cut, drilled, or glued.
03Do I still need heavier strings?
Many players go heavier for lap work to get more volume and a firmer feel under the bar, but the nut itself does not require it.
04Can I still fret the guitar with this on?
No. The whole point is raising the strings out of reach of your fingers. Remove it to go back to normal playing.
