Dobro

collapse expand iconDescription

With its classic Dobro lines, fully bound, highly figured maple wood body, and classic single cone resonator/spider bridge construction, the Gibson Original Dobro Hound Dog Deluxe Roundneck is stunning in both appearance and tone. In addition to the bridge's ebony saddle atop a maple base, the full, warm tone of the Hound Dog Deluxe Roundneck is enhanced and projected by a new proprietary Dobro cone and amplified via a Fishman resonator pickup. Combining classic construction with state-of-the-art electronics, the Hound Dog Deluxe Roundneck represents Gibson Original's deep respect for both the instrument's history and the needs of today's players. Case sold separately.

    I was delighted with this guitar. I loved the neck, and the action was surprisingly light - a very easy guitar to play. I loved the tone. I've played the Gretsch Honeydipper (a guitar I also like a lot!) and this was very similar. If you're looking for a resonator guitar with a softer, less brassier, buzzier sound than some of the all-metal bodies, I highly recommend it.

  • Looks good....

    This guitar looks great. Unfortunately there is barely any output without a pre amp. And the Intenation is off past the 7th fret. I had high hopes. Don't do it!

  • Great guitar, great sound, Epiphone nailed it!!!

    I've been using finger picking and slide on my new Dobro. Epiphone had really done a great job on these guitars. I've always wanted a Dobro, and I'm not disappointed at all!!! It has a great sound and the round neck makes it very easy to play

  • Solid Guitar!

    This guitar is incredible! The guitar sounds great with finger-picking, with thick picks, and thin picks! It has an unbeatable sound for the price and is certainly a professional-quality instrument. The only reason I give it four stars is that the pickups aren't the best by any means. The pickups are quiet and take in a lot of feedback... and though the sound is still alright, it sounds fundamentally different from how the guitar sounds acoustically. I would certainly recommend either changing the pickups or simply putting a mic in front the guitar during a gig. But overall, this guitar was phenomenal!

    I bought one of these a while ago from you guys. When I plug it in there's no output. I've heard that there's output but it's just very little, but I don't seem to hear anything
