Plays like a $2000 or $3000 resonator guitar!

by Kirk from Connersville,In.
March 13, 2013
Music Background: I play the blues and folk songs on street corners.
Intonation was accurate and the inverted cone and spider resonator was in perfect working order, no excessive rattles or hums. The plain maple body has a very nice wood grain body patterns. Believe me... read more [+] I would of loved to buy the American model, but times are tough. It sounds great with all types of slides. It would of been nice to have a case or at least a gig bag to come with it, oh well. Frets come out just a little too much from the fret board, just a little, I fixed it with some extra fine steel wool.The sound that comes from this guitar is loud and it is ready to play out of the box. Tuning keys are Grover, which is very nice for this low budget guitar. I don't have buyers remorse. This guitar sounds great for any style. close [-]

Music Background: I have been a professional vocalist in a number of bands for 25 years-RocknRoll and for the past 7 years vocalist in a blues band called the Soulshakers.
I waited for my Hound Dog for over a year and was very excited when it shipped. I am a major instrument novice picking up bits and pieces of info from bandmates over the years. This guitar has a com... read more [+]fortable feel as I make my attempt towards becoming Blues Guitar Virtuoso. I love the weight and shape and the shine. I have made a few very cool sounds while trying to become familar with the instrument .It actually spurred me on to read a guitar chord book from cover to end. That alone amazes me as it has never interested me in the past. I am very motivated to learn to play. I guess I can be a singer and a player. I am very pleased with my Houd Dog! close [-]
