Sound
|
It has a full and loud sound. I have played several and it has an open sound similar to the Scheerhorn I played but at a much better price. |

I got this reso at a very good price which I won't reveal since a very good friend sold it to me. It was well worth it. It is made in the US which in these economic times is helpful. If it was stolen I would definitely buy another. It sounds great and looks great. I will also consider Jim to build me a custom solid wood reso in the near future. |
