I really like it
Jindrichus 30.11.2018
I came to Thomman to buy a different guitar, but when I saw this resonator for such a low price, I couldn't resist and now I have two new guitars.
Bad things first. The wost thing I found on this guitar is the nut. It is visibly unfinished and ugly, also it is too low resulting in too low action, especially for slide. Also, I am not satisfied with the strings provided. They are rather light and sort of sharp on touch (actually, they do grind my brass slide). There are some minor flaws in painting on the body that I consider irrelevant.
The most advantage is that it is the most affordable resonator guitar that is actually joy to play. The body is small, so it does not sound as loud as a regular resophonic guitar. I mark this as a good thing necause I usually play alone in a rather small room. And the look... it is just beautiful.
Overall I really do like this guitar. The sound of resonator without the loudness. And it is just too cheap to not buy it.
I only played it unplugged, so I can not tell anything about the pickups, but I consider them as a nice bonus.
EDIT: I just changed the nut and the strings and now the guitar is amazing!

Good
Paaltn 26.10.2020
Easy to adjust thruss rod, and that had to be done. Pickups good. Neck has a nice vintage-feeling to it, same shape as on my 1966 Framus 12 string in a way. Finish looks great.
Only prob is a buss on surtain notes, something is not 100% in the mounting of the resonator part. But cannot be heard through pickups, and I will look into it. It must be a loose screw or something.
For the money it is unbelievable.

Cool guitar to experiment with

If you're looking for a guitar case, the Epiphone wildcat case fits this almost perfectly.

my first
MadCatFrank 05.01.2021
My first electric guitar and I must say pretty amazed for what you get for the price. A decend guitar available for everybody. Makes me think when the old bluesmen started of with cheap but not the less, good instruments. Anyhow it's the person behind the thing who has to do it.

Overall its nice
Paul592 12.10.2017
Looks: Amazing its a les paul resonator I mean come on

Sound: The two pickups together can get a crazy amount of tones and there are some really sweet spots.

Finish: Nothing wrong anywhere, a few drips in lacquer but I dont care about that at all.

Set up: This is where it gets bad. I had out of the box the 3rd fret E B And G string sounded like a sitar, and not in the good way. I got my file out and did a little truss rod work and its fine now but its clear that quality control needs to be improved. In fact I would have paid 20 euro more if they would have just levelled the frets right in the factory before sending :L

Overall: I'm happy (aside from that fret which looks like crap from my bad filing job lol)

Great sounds
John899 02.04.2014
Played straight out of the box. Well set-up and still in tune!
Interesting sounds. That metallic "jangle" from piezo pu and LP "crunch" from the humbucker. Versatile guitar.

Love it!

Prize for this kind of money!
Adnan93 06.12.2017
So, it has a shorter scale than I?d like, but the sound quality is great! Wood and details are not something they cared a lot for while manufacturing this guitar, but in the end it became a solid instrument for a starter in this category!

Set Up
Dano49 08.02.2019
Basicly this instrument is satisfactory but the action is too high and should have shipped with a better set up!

Excellent for the money.
Loudman 07.08.2020
I am pleased with this , given the price, I added a preamp to the piezo pickup and it now sounds a lot better, it is now easier to blend it with the mini humbucker pickup, I will change the piezo for a Shadow piezo and possibly the humbucker for a Belcat pickup and it will sound brilliant.

Nice Resonator for the money
Jazzman9 26.05.2020
Been wanting to get a resonator for a while want to do some learning on it for study jazz guitar for a while and this is a nice entry level guitar for what I want to do, did some reading on this people have been saying they have improved the sound quality by changing strings and nut which I plan to do, and some have changed the tuners on it and said it made it great.
