Exactly as described
Just say, this is not my only resonator guitar, I bought the nickel plated hound dog Dobro, with the expectations of a Dobro, I put 13 gauge strings, mostly tune to G, and use bottle neck glass for slide. The Guitar sound fantastic looks fantastic and plays extremely well. So I would not recommend changing cones because it would be such a small insignificant difference in sustain, becaue this one sounds just as clear and sustain just as long as my spider cone. It sounds like a dobro,
Excellent resonator for the price
Pros—ease of reaching the 12th fret when playing slide; nice thump from the biscuit bridge; good action
Cons—maple neck is a bit slick for my taste
Modifications make this guitar
This is a fine Dobro and made very well and heavy. It lacks one thing, a better cone for a better tone. I read a couple of reviews and the B___d cone or a good aluminum spun cone, sounds so much better.
Seriously, spend an extra $ bucks and have an awesome sounding instrument. So smooth with lots of sweet sounding sustain. I have a vintage 30's Model 27 Dobro and I did the same thing with and it sounds great. Old cones moosh down.
Some reviews are unkind to this guitar and the original cone sounds like a cheap Japanese cymbal where the spun cone has a fuller tone.
Always wanted this style "O" after owning 3 other resonators with spider cones. Biscuit bridges are tricky to setup. Anyway, it's a lot cheaper than a National. A better cone makes it sound pretty darn close.
