It does not get any better!

Gitarrenfreund, 18.01.2017

For a long time I wanted to produce a resonator guitar, on which I could play fingerpicking and bottelneck at the same time, and which can also produce a sound, as it is known by Muddy Watters and co. After extensive research I chose the Leewald Blackgator; Rather intuitive because there is no sound sample at Thomann, and also sunnily nowhere, and also the description is quite poor. I ordered it and got it after two months of waiting in October 2016; Since that I play them almost daily. It is a pure pleasure: the sound is excellent; Full-bodied, bodied and differentiated - it is twice as loud as my dreatnught- the workmanship is faultless. In fingerpicking, she plays amazingly soft- with .013.-strings - so the fingertips do not suffer.
Too bad that there is no suitcase. A manual for the Leewald Duotone pickup system is also missing - it would be nice if it were, but is not a problem; The pickup works perfectly. The Blackgator is not a light weight, especially in comparison to my wood guitars, but when you consider all the excellent qualities, it is a sweet burden :-).
I have already played some Resos; Blackgator was (and remains) the best!
A clear purchase recommendation!
