Tricone vs. “Spider” vs. “Biscuit”

[Emma]

The single-resonator or “biscuit” guitars are the simplest variant and are less bright compared to the other two variants. The so-called “spider” variant is also a single-cone version, but with a different design. These “spider” resonators bring more resonance, sustain, and brightness.

Finally, tricone guitars have a complex t-shape bridge with three cones underneath. Such a design makes it the loudest and the brightest of the three. However, they’re usually more expensive and intended for professional musicians.
