First off this guitar is not a National Reso-Phonic. It is also 1/6th the price. But it is a very nice guitar for the money. The guitar I received has a very nicely made body with no obvious flaws. When I received the guitar the strings were slack, so I tuned it to open D and adjusted the truss rod. The fretwork on the vintage style frets was also very good. The only issue it had was a little bit of a rough finish on the neck. A little 0000 steel wool took care of that.The sound is loud and perfect for delta type blues. You can also get the Mark Knopfler thing going too.I own guitars in all price ranges including a Regal, a Martin D-28 and a Taylor 814. This is a very nice instrument, especially at the price asked.
