What's the warranty?

I bought a G9200 Boxcar round neck last summer this month, and it warped badly in 5 months. What a shame and a waste of $375. I wouldn't even bother making a claim on the POS.

My perspective today is: forget resonators. They're too expensive for the quality you get. I've seen a bunch and it seems like you have to spend at least $2K to get into "decent" territory. I'd rather take a $200 Yamaha with stock high action and just use that for slide guitar. Otherwise, consider a cheap square-neck reso. That way when it warps it won't matter.
