I bought mine in Fremantle, Western Australia, for about AD$400.00. in the late 80's no case and this is the first time I've found anyone else with one. There seems to be very little information about them.Mine is a 12 fret to body which makes it a little awkward for slide style, but it certainly seems a robust creature. I also have a Dobro,a Sigma, and a Johnson and love 'em all [these are all 14 fret to body models].

Hey Dick
was googling and came across your post. I have a resonator that is missing the headstock. I am not able to find any info on it as I do not have the original name off the headstock. With the guitar came a Sigma pamphlet. What is distinctive about the guitar is the pattern of a thunderbird/pea**** on the coverplate. This guitar has a single coil pickup and a V & T control, bisquit bridge.From your original post I am assuming you have a Sigma brand resonator also. I know this is a long shot. Any help would be appreciated. By the way, I have installed a no name "matching" meck from a destroyed square neck accoustic.
cheers
Gerry
