For $116 from Rondo, this is pretty cool.

Very cool! Jeez is that cheap. How does it sound?

I have no idea yet. I need to buy a slide.
For $125 shipped, it was a no brainer to just buy it. If it's stinky, I can always swap out the pickup and unstink it some.

Definitely give a review. I've been eyeballing that one for a while.

Looks count for nothing BUT that really looks COOL!

Too tempting~

Wow, I already have a nice resonator guitar but that is SO tempting! The Fender bass style ashtray over the bridge is a great addition, looks like a perfect hand rest, and a case included......looks like its credit card time..

For that price, you just need to dig out the change in the cushions. I wish I could give you guys a sound sample but until I buy a slide I got nothin'.

Bummer - they're out of stock.

They still have black and white bodies, just not natural.

They have the naturals back in stock, so I've ordered one. How does yours sound, JTC?

If you still need a steel, I'd recommend the Shubb-Pearse SP-2. It has a sharp and a blunt end, and more mass than many other steels for better sustain and tone clarity (IMHO.)
