The Resonators oscillating magnetic field offers a spectrum of frequencies from
which only string vibrations in phase are amplified. Finally, the frequency with the
largest amplitude is the winner. This frequency falls into feedback. At the same
time, reverse phase vibrations are damped. The amplitudes of the harmonics
change from zero to maximum along the guitar neck. However, phase and
amplitude changes along the guitar neck are the reason for the different feedback
harmonics on different Resonator positions.
If you like to go into more detail, you can see that the pickup selection has an
influence on the feedback harmonics too. Since the Resonator input comes from
the selected pickup, amplitude and phase of the magnetic oscillation depend on
the pickup position. The neck pickup for example shows much more key tone
amplitude than the bridge pickup where the amplitude of the first octave is much
smaller. As a consequence, the pickup selection also controls the feedback
harmonics. You can check this out simply by pickup switching while playing
feedback.
Last but not least the frequency characteristics of the pickups itself influence the
feedback harmonics. All this together makes clear why the Guitar Resonator
sounds individual depending on both, your instrument and your playing style.
