Happy NGD to me! I spent a very happy hour or so in Hobgoblin music in Birmingham trying out the different resonators on offer. I went in there with my heart set on a trip-cone resonator, full metal jacket (body) but ended up with this gorgeous mahogany model. As jackbepablo said, I found the full metal guitars hard to play - very heavy, a lot of string tension and although they sound great they are a bit harsh - All in all not ideal for just sitting around and noodling along to Dave Rawlings records. I'm not ruling out a future purchase for some Son House style rowdy blues... Anyway, very happy with this. Sounds lovely, feels good, looks fab. It's a Regal RD30. Would recommend.
