Anybody own a Beltona Pasifika Tricone?

Just wondering if any have made it to the USA? How do you like its tone? Is it lots lighter than a wood or metal body? How does the finish look and hold up?
I have the one above. The finish is beautiful. More so than on their website and better in the flesh, er, fiberglass.....
It's very light and it is durable.
The tone is a single cone sound, like a National style o. It has plenty of volume.
The only thing that I would like to see changed, is the string height. It's a little on the low side. Not terrible, but would be better if it were higher.
If I had to choose only one guitar, I would look for a traditional resonator, but IMO, it makes a great second guitar.
