Dobro Model 33

1980

The ultimate photographic challenge! Capturing the beauty of these instruments is truly difficult.

Following in the footsteps of 1930s resonators, here’s a slightly more modern interpretation with oil-bath tuners, a rosewood fingerboard, and a maple neck with a fairly refined C-shaped profile, much less chunky than its predecessors. It’s therefore a modern instrument, less raw and unrefined than the 1930s models.

It doesn’t have the nasal quality often found on Spyder-style resonators. It even boasts a fairly significant reverb, which is more typical of 12-fret guitars, but here it’s quite striking. Of course, it retains that typical resonator tone: metallic with strong projection and a beautiful reverb. It’s not limited to bluegrass; quite the opposite. Blues, folk à la Bon Iver, for example, bottleneck—you name it.

The overall condition is excellent. Being a big fan of this type of instrument myself, I took great care of it. That’s true of all the instruments here, but I admit it took me longer than I should have, but the result truly lives up to my expectations.

In its original hard case.
