The Hound Deluxe Dog Square Neck Dobro® guitar features a flamed maple body with black binding and screened sound holes. The 10-1/2" fan-covered plate resonator is designed to heighten the natural tonal balance and projection. The square neck resonator guitar is primarily used in bluegrass and country music, and is played as a lap style Dobro® with a solid steel slide.
I was looking to get into a square neck Dobro for less than $500. Unfortunately, I am a tone freak. Most of the entry level square necks are dull sounding with little sustain. I listened to a lot of high end instruments (Scheerhorn, Beard, etc)to get a feel for what I like. Next I looked for every you-tube video featuring lower end dobro playing to compare. There aren't many, but I did hear a couple featuring the Hound Dog Deluxe. I liked what I heard. Sometimes a great player can make a good impression about any instrument. There's only so much tone to work with within any instrument. Took a chance. Ordered the Hound Dog Deluxe. Delivered quickly, in pristine condition. This is a good value of instrument for the money. The deluxe has a built in Fishman pickup which works pretty well with an acoustic amp and even better with a pre-amp/EQ. The only thing I would have liked would be a case of some sort - even a gig bag. But the dobro itself...as a learner, I will have a long way to go before I grow out of this one and it will not hamper the learning process in it's construction, playability or tone. It will bring you pleasure to play. I would have given 5 stars for any kind of case. It is a 5 star value as an entry level dobro...
I love this guitar so much. I have the blacked out version and everywhere I go it turns heads. The sound is incredible and it is really sweet for blues. I would easily recommend this guitar to anyone whether your just looking for something to dink around on or if your looking to whip out some Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Very nice guitar for the price sounds great.
