Resonator[]

Resonators are a type of guitar.

From Wikipedia:

Similar to the flat top guitar in appearance, but with sound produced by a metal resonator 
mounted in the middle of the top rather than an open sound hole, so that the physical principle 
of the guitar is actually more similar to the banjo. The purpose of the resonator is to amplify 
the sound of the guitar; this purpose has been largely superseded by electrical amplification, 
but the resonator is still played by those desiring its distinctive sound.
