I have an acoustci music store in east tennesee USA, Mountain Music. I stock about thirty resonator guitars. I've been told that all of the asian stuff, regardless of name, comes out of a Samick factory. This includes Reagl, Johnson, Fender, etc. Many of the companies are not well managed or honor warrenties. Some like SAGA, are horrible.

    Your best bet is a Goldtone, which is also Asian. The compnay is great, warrenties are great, and the product is the best on the market.
