Dobro Hound Dog Round Neck
Product information "Dobro Hound Dog Round Neck"
The Dobro resonator guitar has been an American classic since its arrival in the early 1920's. The wood resonator or resophonic style guitar became a national phenomenon thanks to Dobro pioneer Bashful Brother Oswald, who became the instrument’s virtual ambassador, performing it weekly on the Grand Ole Opry for over 60 years. The resonator guitar is still an iconic instrument for bluegrass and traditional American music. In the last decade, popular artists in country, blues, and bluegrass have rediscovered the beautiful and challenging Dobro.
Historic Tone With A Twist
In addition to the bridge’s ebony saddle which sits atop a maple base, the full warm tone of the Hound Dog Roundneck is enhanced and projected by a new proprietary nickel plated Dobro® cone with a nickel fan cover plate, round sound holes with screens, and classic f holes.

The name Dobro is nowadays often used as a generic term for resonator guitars with wooden bodies, but it also refers to a company. Dobro was founded in the USA in the 1920s by the Slovak immigrant Dopyra family. Several family members worked as luthiers and decided to found their own guitar-making company. In the 1930s Dobro Guitars became part of the National String Instrument Company, which still today produces high-quality resonator guitars under the name National Resophonic. Dobro is now part of the Gibson group and focuses mainly on producing instruments in the affordable price range, giving beginners the opportunity to dive into the world of bluegrass music.
