1929 Dobro Model 55 Walnut
Description
Up for sale is one of the first models John Dopyera introduced after leaving National to form Dobro with his brothers ("Do" "Bro" - get it?). The Model 55 features an inverted resonator cone, with an eight-legged "spider bridge that carries vibrations out to the edges of the cone.
This guitar has every single scratch and ding you'd expect from an instrument from 1929. The action is still great, though, and it plays like a dream. Bound neck, Red Bean fretboard, Dark Walnut finish on a birch body. We don't know if the hard case is original, but it certainly is period correct.
Equally, it's hard to say of the tailpiece is original. It's awfully shiny :)
