I came across a FR-50 Resonator at a local thrift shop and am trying to find out info about it. It has a output jack below the strap button on the bottom of the guitar. But unlike the FR-50CE it has no other controls. All I can find about the FR-50 is either on strictly acoustic (no output) or the CE model with external knobs. Not sure how the one I found works or even how the output jack works.
Thank you for your time.

Probably a mod. Possibly the pickup isn't even there, just the jack. Hard to say with the info you give - no info on the pickup, no pics...
Check this for different possibilities:

I have determined it is a mod. Not sure yet if it is a bowl pickup or just one of the mics yet. Taking it in to have new saddle and strings put on it. Will find out then what type of pickup. Does work through amp set on clean though.
Thanks for the help!
