Anyone played a Trinity Square Neck Reso? What are your opinions or reviews of these?

Also, is the stock case that comes with these good quality.

I need a case for my other reso and someone is selling the guitar and case used for a similar price to a new reso case? I'm wondering about the quality of the case and if the reso would be reasonable for a backup or travel or to be used as my 2nd reso in other tuning

Thank you, Doug

Unfortunately I can’t recommend it to anyone. My dad bought one a few years ago and besides sounding absolutely awful, the construction was terrible. Within a couple years the tailpiece pulled through the body. Oh and the case was pretty flimsy too.

I've never played one, I started a spiel about this the other day and accidentally hit the back button, lost it, and lacked the energy to start over. wink



But Luke pretty much wrote all you need to know. 



There are seemingly dozens of el cheapo reso guitar brands built in China and imported by distributors throughout the world, the majority likely to the U.S. since this is the home of the dobro. 



With some of the brands, you can't tell one from the next except for having a different logo on the headstock along with perhaps a few subtle differences in trim. Many are cranked out in the same factory. 



I was an outside sales rep for a bunch of years, and when I would travel to  different cities I liked to  visit guitar stores. I would periodically test drive these guitars just for kicks but after awhile it got to be repetitive mediocrity so eventually I pretty much stopped doing it.
