Excellent

I haven't played with many resonator guitars in the past but I find this one an amazing.

I had to write a couple of country rock albums and this thing killed it, sounds awesome.

Great value-for-money instrument.

The only bad thing I found, there was a little bit of black paint on a small spot on the fretboard but I took the time to carefully remove it.

Other than that, great!

Will definitely keep using it on my next projects.

Good but could be better

The sound of this guitar is great and actually the more I play it the more I enjoy its sound and it's nearly enough to overlook numerous quality control issues. The binding is not consistent and has flaws in the finish. I also discovered at a later date the cone inside the resonator was dented. The frets were very rough and the whole feel of the guitar felt rushed and sloppy.

Personally I think there are better value brands out there and I would spend a little more and get something better quality. Im sticking with mine and will work on it little by little to make it a better guitar but many won't have the time or the patience to do the same .
