Nice sound, like a resonator...projects pretty well
Action, Fit, & Finish
:
3
Action was way too low for slide playing so I had to buy a new biscuit bridge to raise it up...if you've never owned one of these before, it's a real pain....bridge must be cut to correct height, string guides must be filed out...a lot of disassembly too.
The chrome finish was fine for about two months then began to flake away from the steel body underneath around the lower bout, F-holes, etc. This thing looks like crap now.
Reliability/Durability
:

See above for durability regarding the finish
Customer Support
:
1
Their warranty is meaningless...was told that because I bought a B-Stock instrument (the only reason it was a B stock was because the factory put in the wrong cone...write size and all, just the wrong manufactuere) that the warranty covering material and workmanship didn't apply -- someone want to explain to me how having the wrong cone in a resonator makes the chrome flake off after 60 days?
