Not sure if they're making these Republic Duolian 508s in Antique Copper finish any more. I haven't seen one for sale in a very long time.
Purchased last fall brand new. I had the frets reset/dressed and a proper biscuit cone set-up done at Chicago Fretworks. This tank is now a slide machine and needs nothing. Stage ready as she stands.
Action could be lowered for easier standard playing, as it's set up for slide right now (but what's the point of an all-bell-brass bodied resonator if you're not going to play slide, I say). If you are a picker, this has a lovely banjo-esque honk to it. Very cool sound with 'verb for days.
I'm not crazy about selling this, but the herd needs to be culled.
