If any one here has one of these or knows anything about them please tell me likes, dislikes. All I know is what I've read on the internet, they are supposed to be well made and guranteed for life. I just bought one, should get it after christmas, any info is appreciated!!

I don't have any experience with these models, but in general most budget resonators can be upgraded to a fully pro sounding instrument by replacing the cone, bridge and nut,- the three most important factors in shaping the tone of a resonator.
So if the frets (I assume this is a roundneck?) and general workmanship is acceptable but the tone is lacking, then you can get a top of the line cone from Beard Guitars for $55, add a bone nut and bridge insert, get a professional setup, and you'll have an instrument that'll please you for years to come.

Looking over their site, I didn't get the impression that they're selling the typical Chinese resos. I could be wrong, though...

They are squarenecks only, Steinar.
