Rated 5/5

Plays like a $2000 or $3000 resonator guitar!

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 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.
Music background: I play the blues and folk songs on street corners.
Rated 4.5/5

Rewarding

With the proper strings and setup this Hound Dog sings.
Rewarding in terms of bang for your buck.
Most rewarding to play.

My first resonator

You have to start somewhere. I wanted to get into alternate tuning & slide so I went this route. After playing around for a couple days this won't be my only resonator in my collection. I really like this guitar. For those buying their first resonator there are 4 wound strings & the 12th fret is tight to the body but that is the way they are made. When I get jamming with it I forget how loud it is. I'm up here in Michigan in the snow but when I play this I feel I'm in a Louisiana swamp. So glad I purchased it & thanks to Sweetwater for their setup & speedy shipping

Dobro

All around solid construction. Very nice finish. I wish it had more cone sound but in all fairness I think you only get that with the metal body version.
