They call those things "cigar box guitars".
They do make real tenor resonators though.

Ah, well, that I can't really help you with.
Started out as a DIY thing, but Sir Paul's does look professionally done.

Awesome, thanks. I thought I also saw it flash by in the Sound City documentary trailer.

You're welcome. It was easy, I think that was the first hit when I Googled it.

Yeah cigar box guitars have always seemed about 55% cool 45% gimmick to me.

kurt schoen out of washington makes the more interesting cigar box resonators.
his are much more like instruments and less a shitty little box with strings.
he leads the pack for sure.

Yeah, I have no real interest in 'em.
There're lots of other instruments I'd rather have. Like a real tenor resonator, for instance.
