Best Dobro for the money

My Dobro Hound Dog round neck F-cut sound hole is an awsome res-guitar! I've looked and played some of the "knock offs" from other companies, this is by far an excellent product for the money. I play several styles of music, like Delta Blues, Bluegrass, Southern Rock. My Dobro does very well in all settings. If you are starting out and want a very versitile insturment this is exactly the one you want. Like others have mentioned when you get it, have some fun. Then change the strings to a good quality string ( M>S> has several), then go have some more fun.....

Dobro Hounddog

Great instrument.  Woody sound mixed with resonant harmonics,extended sustain, loud enough to be heard over that guy on the banjo.  I bought the roundneck model in plain maple.  The look of this thing is nice, plain, unflashy, old-school.  The maple ply is bulletproof, and I expect it to last a loooong time--it even has Grover tuners.  The action is a bit high, even though it's made to play slide, but it is possible to press the strings down at the frets if you want to play piedmont style.  Tune it to a whole step down from concert pitch anc capo the second fret and it plays as well as any other good acoustic (the capo lowers the action and puts you into regular tuning).  Definitely a keeper.  I only wish it had come with a case.

Not Bad

This is a good little instrument for the price.  It is an entry level dobro, so it's not the highest quality, but not bad for what it costs.  The one I bought had a horrible buzzing sound coming from the cone when I first tuned it up.  I tightened the cone tension screw a bit and it took care of it.  I've noticed that after quite a bit of playing the buzzing tended to come back and I'd have to tighten the cone again.  I think that an upgrade on the cone is in order for this little dobro.  Also, plan on putting some heavy resophonic strings on it...the ones on it don't have much sound. Over all it's good though.  Stays in tune well...the action is good for fretting or slide. For an entry level instrument at a good price, it's a good buy.

As a long time player, I'd been looking for a long time for an instrument to add to my ban'd mix for added color. I tried a friend's Dobro, and it got me hooked. I purchased the Dobro Hound Dog 3 months ago, and now can't put it down. It sounds great, and the build quality seems very good too. I could have bought a cheaper resonator guitar, but I felt that sticking with the original "Dobro" brand guitar would get me what I was looking for.

It's the sound that matters, and I really love the sound delivered by my new China-made Hound Dog.  I'm not a slider, but fingerstyle ragtime sounds great! Full, warm tone - unlike any other resonator I have played.  I think this guitar would be a good value at twice the price.
