Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Bought this guitar recently, and I have to say that I really don't have much experience with other resonator guitars beyond listening to them. Since I play slide in open tunings, I feel like they have a superior sound for that style. This one felt like a pretty safe bet being a Dobro brand. It is made in China, which is a bummer, but seems well constructed. The body is thick, and solid feeling. The matte finish and wood grain look great. It has a very antique look about it. The action from the shop was set pretty nice, frets easily, yet the slide doesn't bang around on the frets. The first thing I did was drop some heavier strings on it, which really made a difference in the sound quality over the factory strings- that usually goes without saying I suppose. I like having the pickup on it as well, sounded really good on just a cheap fender frontman amplifier. I'm definitely not an expert, I've never even touched a National, so I don't have much to make comparisons to, but I'm pretty well pleased with the sound and construction upon my purchase.

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.
