Dobro Hound Dog M-14 Metal Body Resonator Guitar - Vintage Brown

The Dobro Hound Dog M-14 metal-body resonator guitar combines a nickel-plated brass body and biscuit-style resonator to deliver strong projection, articulate attack and sustain for blues and slide players, or guitarists looking to add traditional resonator tones to their acoustic sound. A medium C mahogany neck, bound rosewood fingerboard and 24.75" scale provide familiar playing dimensions for fingerpicking, flatpicking and slide techniques. Grover Mini Rotomatic tuners, nickel hardware and a traditional Hound Dog headstock complete the classic design, while an included hardshell case provides protection during transport and storage.

Nickel-Plated Brass Body and Biscuit-Style Resonator

The M-14 features a hollow nickel-plated brass body and biscuit-style resonator that produce the bright, metallic response and pronounced attack associated with traditional metal-body resonator guitars. A hard maple saddle with ebony cap transfers string vibration to the resonator, helping produce clear note definition and sustained tones. The resonator assembly and cover plate complement the brass body's acoustic properties, delivering the projection and responsiveness needed for driving blues rhythms, open-tuning arrangements and expressive slide playing.

Mahogany Neck With Traditional Neck-Stick Construction

The mahogany neck features a medium C profile and 24.75" scale for a comfortable, familiar feel when moving between chords, melodic passages and slide techniques. Traditional 14th-fret neck-stick construction supports the instrument's resonator design, while a dual-action truss rod allows adjustments to neck relief. Together, these features provide a practical playing platform for guitarists accustomed to conventional acoustic and electric guitars.

Bound Rosewood Fingerboard With Medium Frets

A single-ply-bound rosewood fingerboard combines a 12" radius with 19 medium frets, offering a familiar playing surface for fretted chords, individual notes and slide passages. Dot inlays provide clear position references, while a Graph Tech nut completes the neck assembly. The combination of traditional appointments and comfortable playing dimensions makes the M-14 suitable for guitarists who alternate between fretted playing and bottleneck techniques.

Grover Tuners and Traditional Dobro Appointments

Grover Mini Rotomatic tuning machines feature an 18:1 gear ratio for precise tuning adjustments, complemented by nickel-finished hardware throughout the instrument. The distinctive Dobro Hound Dog headstock features the traditional four-color harp logo, while a gloss finish highlights the reflective nickel-plated brass body. These appointments combine familiar hardware functionality with the recognizable appearance of a classic metal-body resonator guitar.

Versatile Resonator Tone for Slide and Roots Guitar

Whether playing Delta blues, country fills or acoustic arrangements that benefit from a brighter, more percussive guitar voice, the M-14 offers an alternative to a conventional flat-top acoustic. Its biscuit-style resonator provides the projection and sustain needed for expressive slide work while retaining the articulation required for fretted melodies and rhythmic accompaniment. An included hardshell case helps protect the guitar between rehearsals, recording sessions and performances. The Dobro Hound Dog M-14 resonator guitar offers a practical choice for players exploring traditional resonator techniques or expanding the tonal range of their acoustic setup.
