Wanted to wait for a month to really experience this guitar before writing my review. First of all, this guitar is just beautiful and comes in a cool "coffin" case. Washburn really nailed the vintage look. Makes me smile every time I open it up and see this baby. I personally love the wide 48mm nut, having learned to play on a classical guitar. I tried several other resonators in the $500 - $900 price range, and many of them really didn't sound much different from a standard parlor guitar. This one certainly does. It has just the sound I've been looking for. Think 1930's Delta blues resonator with just a pinch of banjo added - I love it! Another thing, this guitar is really loud! I find it amazing that so much sound can come out of such a small guitar. Haven't even mentioned how great it sounds with a brass slide too. I am very happy with my purchase. Also had a great, personal experience with I.A. and got a nice price from them too. I'm gonna go play it right now.
