Jared, is that a Michael Kelly acoustic? I've often admired them and several times thought about picking one up. I know they are an American company, but do you know where they are made? Prices seem pretty reasonable, and the quality looks good in photos. How do they look in person?

And a Fender electric resonator/Dobro? Interesting.

Made in Korea, aren't they?

Hence why you can get one for 330 bucks. Not a bad buy!

Paul-

Michael Kelly basses are made in Korea.

The fit and finish is better than my Hamer, which is also made in Korea!

The top is laminated so the tone isn't as clear as say a Martin or Taylor-but hey its only $484US.

The Fender sounds cool.
