Resonator guitars are named so after the cone shaped "resonator" in the body of the guitar.

What is a lap steel guitar and how is it different tha a regular guitar?

The invention of the lap steel guitar in 1885 is most-commonly attributed to Joseph Kekuku. Lap steel guitars are similar to standard guitars but have some important differences: the strings of a lap steel guitar are raised at the bridge and neck ends, usually one half inch off the fingerboards; the strings of regular guitars have their strings directly against the fingerboards. Because the strings of lap steel guitars are raised and are too high to touch the fingerboard, regular fretted-type playing is impossible; consequently, the number of chords available to lap steel guitars are less than regular fretted guitars. A lap steel guitar player changes pitch by pressing a metal or glass tube against the strings rather than pressing the strings onto a fret. As a result of the fewer chord options and interesting pitch variations, many lap steel players make use of lap steel's rich tones to play melodies. There are three main types of lap steel guitars: Lap slide guitars (e.g., Hawaiian guitar) Resonator guitars--both the round and square neck types (e.g., Dobro, National) Electric lap steel guitars (having up to ten strings) Although lap slide and resonator guitars may be equipped with pick-ups, they do not rely on electrical amplification to be played. The most common use for lap steel guitars is in Hawaiian, country or bluegrass types of music, but they are sometimes used in rock and jazz. Lap steel guitars are commonly played on a lap, but some players use a stool or table.Lap steel guitars are most commonly played with a right-hand thumbpick and up to four left-hand fingerpicks. Some notable lap steel guitar players include Ben Harper, Sneaky Pete Kleinow, Junior Brown, John Fahey, Orville Johnson, David Hildago, Bob Brozman, and Ben Keith. The price ranges of Lap Steel Guitars is quite varied with new models costing as little as one hundred dollars; however, vintage lap steel guitars--especially resonator-type guitars--may be priced in the many thousands of dollars.
