a guy wants to trade me a sterling resonator with a national cone installed.i have never heard of sterling and cant find any info on the net.anyone know anything on sterling?

These are Chinese or Korean made instruments, similar to the Johnson and Regal resonator guitars. I have only played one a long time ago, and was unimpressed at the time. I am sure a National cone would make a difference in the overall sound. How much is he asking for the guitar? Do you have any photos?

very funny!!!!!!!!! im not like that though.i figuire a brass body chrome or nickel plated resonator with a national cone installed by a big name music store in this area in decent shape has to be worth more than $200

Good luck w/the guitar. Beware! Trading, lending or even giving a handgun can lead to LOTS

im in illinois and every elligible gun owner has to have a state approve Firearms Owner ID card or FOID which means they have passed a background check.so therefore you don't do any transaction with anyone that doesn't possess a valid foid card.pretty easy
