This is my third resonator guitar. The matte black finish is real nice. My friend thinks its the nicest guitar I own. The pickup was sloppily installed so ZZounds gave me $ 125.00 off. The pickup works and sounds great, though. The cone is very responsive and has a nice growl when played hard. I play open tuning for slide. The tone is warm and bright but with a nice low end, especially when tuned to open D. The tuners work and feel great. Plugged in to an amp and it sounds great. Tone and volume work and sound good. If you're deciding on which reso to get look no further unless you can spend over $2,000.00 on an American one. As is I'm not going to change anything. I may in the future upgrage the wiring and pots but I'm not touching the pickup as it was especially designed for Reso's, a feature No Reso has in this price range. This is my first Washburn Guitar and I'm proud to own it.
