I've played one a number of times and think it's the best reso i've ever played. Heavy because of the German silver but is a great feel. It reminded me of the old National reso guitars my brother plays. I highly recommend a Morton. He owns a small shop in Anacortes or close to it. If you like reso, a Morton would not disappoint you.
 
That Morton looks similar to the one I owned a few years back. Check the nut width. Mine was a concert, and had a mandolin size neck, making it a chore to play.
