Dobro Hound Dog Round Neck Deluxe
Product information "Dobro Hound Dog Round Neck Deluxe"
Dobro - often synonymous with wooden resonator guitars has been a registered trademark of the US guitar manufacturer Gibson since 1994.
The name Dobro goes back to five Slovakian immigrants, the Dopyera Brothers, who began to build the guitar in 1927. By the way, Dobro means "good" in Slovakian/Slavic - a surely wanted word play.

The classic design Single Cone/Spider Bridge combined with a beautifully flamed maple body makes this resonator guitar attractive. With the Fishman pickup, the live performance becomes a pure pleasure.
The beautiful colouring in vintage brown and the silky matt finish make the nostalgic look complete. This guitar is simply breathtaking!

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.
