I second Dave's endorsement of the Rogue. Dave's brought it over several times and it sounds great. I think he did replace the bridge. It sounds nearly as good as an all-metal body Dobro I had a few years ago and the Rogue is a fraction of the cost. Hope this helps.

I noticed you have both a Fender and a Regal resonator. Did you find the quality to be similar?
The Fender is a biscuit single cone and the Regal is a tricone. Very different sounds from each. The tricone is louder and "brashier" if that's a word. As far as quality, the Fender was finished better. I had to do some serious adjustments to the Regal . . . The neck and fretboard didn't align properly, there was a loose mushroom rattling around inside. Of course I did a setup and some minor fret leveling on both. But, in the end, the Regal is great.

No one mentioned the Epiphone MD100. Is that worth looking at?
The specs on the website are confusing (probably on purpose) - it says the body is "chromed brass", but then the graphic says the body is steel.

I got Liberty's all mahogany version (one of the most expensive) on eBay for under 4 bills mint, like it was never played. The case that came with it was worth $120 on its own.

I believe that the Liberty metal guitars are not actually metal bodies but metal foil applied over wood.

I have a Regal tricone RC-51 I paid just at your budget limit for, and I have been very happy with its tone and general playability (fingerstyle, no slide). The Chinese fit and finish are a little rough, but for the money...
