I know nothing about resonator guitars.
I know I wanted one so I could play Delta Blues.
What I bought is terrible !
I'm afraid to buy another. I might get the same thing.
The one I bought is a ROGUE SPIDER roundneck.
The strings are so high above the frets I can't press down on any
strings.
I know blues player press down on their strings to do "turnarounds",
but there's no way I can on this guitar.
What do I need to know on my next purchase?

I have heard on here that the "Rogue" guitars are not "of the finest quality", however, it is possible to make a guitar easier to play.
If you take the guitar to a shop that has a good guitar technician, he or she can adjust the "action" (that is mainly the height of the strings above the fretboard) to make it easier to play.
It shouldn't cost too much, but it may be more than you want to spend on a guitar that you don't really like.
Good luck.
