I have a beautiful, mint, barely-used Black Regal RD45 with professionally installed Quarterman Cone to trade for an Oud of comparable quality. The
cone was installed by Chicago Luthier 'Rockin' Billy Harnden. I would include the hardshell case.
This resonator , purchased new with a Quarterman cone, would cost you well over $400 not including shipping.
I would love to trade this for a comparably priced Haluk or middle quality Oud. I am based in Chicago.
Come on - you've always wanted a Dobro and I've always wanted an Oud... Let's trade!
Here's some reviews of this resonator from Harmony Central:

Keep in mind this axe sports the upgraded Quarterman Cone (HUGE difference in sound).
Here's a photo of the model(except mine's black):

Sounds/looks fantastic - one of my instructors actually prefers the sound of this guitar over his $1500 Paul Beard Dobro.
