Nice thanks, just brought myself a wooden reso (gretsch) and I love the feel, build quality - i am concerned because it seemed too "affordable"!!!

Interesting, but I wonder where it'll make an appearance...

It maybe an a great guitar but Im gonna stick my neck out and say its not the prettiest thing I've seen.

I'd go along with that.  Where's the palm trees and gondola?

I thought it looked cool.

Thats interesting Dusty, ive always thought if I was gonna stick a guitar on my wall it could only be a vintage Les Paul like the one from BIA video.

the Les Paul on the BIA video is not a vintage one, it's a reissue builed in the 80ies
Mark got his  2 "real" vintage Les pauls (from 58 and 59) around 1995 I believe

I knew I was out of my league when I said that, however it looks vintage so that is fine. Even a 90s reissue will cost

a genuine one would probably be worth more than my house.

indeed, around 200 000

Love them! I would really like to try one out. The closest I've ever come to a resonator was a cheap knockoff. It was really hard to play, but it did feel nice to play MK stuff on it and get "kind of" that sound.
