Superb
Has a more mellow sound than expected, a plus for me. Excellent clarity & volume however. Slightly wider neck at the nut makes the guitar very nice to play, most of my other instruments are 43mm. Finish is beautiful, a very cool looking guitar indeed.

Suitable for experimenting with the 'resonator-guitar' genre
Before judging a resonator guitar, we must understand/accept that this type of guitar is by design a picky/demanding instrument. And in this case we have a relatively cheap instrument.
The appearance of the guitar is quite good, the materials seem of quality and the workmanship and finishing are acceptable. (When I opened the box, I did not find any label regarding the manufacturer and model anywhere, nor any quality certificate.)
The sound of the guitar is pretty good, although not very balanced across the entire fingerboard (for strings 4,5,6, the wound ones, the resonator-cone responds more and more attenuated towards the bridge). The sensitivity to the player's interaction is good, but does not excel. The bridge/saddle is not positioned precisely enough, and thus the musical notes played along the strings become increasingly out of tune as we approach the bridge.
The frets are unpolished, so they produce a scratchy sound when using the 'bend' technique.
The strings that the guitar arrived with are of poor quality, including from the perspective of the grating sound caused when using the 'slide' playing technique on strings 3,4,5,6 (wrapped/wound strings).
For me, the slightly larger neck width (44.5mm) and the glossy surface finish are particularly appreciated.
In conclusion, the guitar is good enough for familiarization with the 'resonator guitar' genre.

Fabulous guitar!
As soon as I took this out of the box I was stunned. The quality is absolutely second to none! It is built superbly, it looks amazing and it sounds, WOW. I have a few guitars, including a Martin acoustic, and this is the best quaity I have ever seen for this money. So chuffed!
I know you're supposed to write things you didn't like, but sorry, there are none! I love this guitar!

Recording King RR-36 roundneck
After a couple of years playing this instrument, i had to swap the tuners because old ones just broke.
In general, this instrument should cost max 250€. Inside the instrument, the metal plate and spider cone are “jingly-jangly” on certain frequencies. Setup “from the factory” is on the high side, but that is ok when playing slide. But on the other side it is not “perfectly” tunable, but it is playable. Sound is ok, but from the build quality I expected more for the price.
