For Truth-in-Advertising reasons, I should explain that the picture posted may not represent the Actual Model in my possession, since I haven't got a decent picture of mine yet, but found this passingly similar one on Google.
I cant see pics on my phone anyway but i certainly dont have a resonator and that is pretty cool anyway.
I've always wanted one of those. Almost got one once, picked up a couple of Danelectros instead.
That looks fucking Jean-Michel Jarre Eighties Futuristic Laser Harp fucking awesome.
What's it do?

Wikipedia:
QuoteA resonator guitar or resophonic guitar is an acoustic guitar whose sound is produced by one or more spun metal cones (resonators) instead of the wooden sound board (guitar top/face). Resonator guitars were originally designed to be louder than regular acoustic guitars, which were overwhelmed by horns and percussion instruments in dance orchestras. They became prized for their distinctive sound, however, and found life with several musical styles (most notably bluegrass and also blues) well after electric amplification solved the issue of inadequate guitar sound levels.
They were developed before, if not around the same time, as electronic amplification. My guitar evolution is a bit rusty.
Actually the evolution of guitar is pretty interesting.
At the Museum of Fine Arts they had an exhibit of various guitars. I was in heaven. They even had the "balliset" from 1984 Dune which was basically just a really weird electric guitar. They also had that guy from Cheap Trick's 5 neck guitar on loan and the oldest surviving guitar, which was made, if I recall, in the 1400s.
That was many years ago, but a very fond memory.

"Hey Richter, my brother got this guitar that doesn't need an amp!"
"So...he has an acoustic?"
"Um..."
When I actually got shown the product in question, it was one of those. Snazzy.

To put it in other words, "she may not be my type per se, but there's no way in hell I would say no."
