Where is the best place to find a good used Square neck Tricone Resonator for sale?

A used square neck Tricone is pretty rare, I'm assuming you're looking for a newer Asian one? I just ended up getting a round neck and putting a Kamiki nut adapter on it. I bought a Republic first, new for around $700.00 and found a used Johnson for $450.00 a few months ago. What I'm saying is, you'll have a much easier time finding a round neck.

There are two on Reverb for sale now, a National for $$$$ and an Asian Republic for considerably less.

I'm pretty sure Randy Wood has one in his store, just a couple minutes from me. (randywoodmusic.com) They are very experienced with shipping instruments as well. I'm sure it's not cheap.

If you're not in a hurry, keep checking the various online classifieds frequently and be ready to act; that's how I got a hold of a National- it showed on the Guitar Center Used Gear site. It replaced an import Regal round neck that I'd set up for lap style, and that got the job done nicely before the upgrade.

Due to my second cervical spine surgery; I have a Recording King Tricone square neck I have decided to sell.
Located in Benson AZ.

Owned the Recording king.

I had the cones and saddle replaced.

Cleaned the paint,
removed from the structure holding the cones.

I then mistakenly gave it to my son.

It was a fine instrument.

I regret giving it away. When I purchased it used it was a poor guitar. I was shocked. Even Frank Harlow the luthier was impressed. He is hard to please.

I've just taken the plunge and bought a square neck Recording King metal body (chrome on brass) Tricone.
I've always played wood body resos but decided to try something different.
It's due next week, hopefully it'll suit me...but if not I'll be listing it on the Hangout and SGF at the price I paid.
I got a VERY good deal so any shipping costs (from Ireland) would probably balance out.
Let me know if you, (or anyone else!) might be interested.
