Unlike the square-neck Dobros commonly associated with dedicated slide playing, the round-neck configuration was intended to encourage Spanish-style playing, making this an interesting example of Dobro's early resonator guitar designs.\u003c!--\/if--\u003e\u003c!--\/it--\u003e\u003c!--\/for--\u003e\u003c!--\/comp--\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!--\/it--\u003e\u003c!--it--\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x12ofw9d\"\u003e\u003c!--comp--\u003e\u003c!--for--\u003e\u003c!--it--\u003e\u003c!--if--\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003efingerboard has been modified\u003c\/strong\u003e, with all original dot position markers replaced and additional dots added in the upper registers, creating three markers per fret in those areas. The work is somewhat crude and a clear coat applied over the modified positions has aged noticeably, leaving those frets visually distinct from the rest of the fingerboard. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe guitar also has high action, consistent with its apparent history as an instrument used primarily for slide. Lowering the action for conventional fretted playing would require further work, with no guarantee of a satisfactory result. As it stands, the guitar may be best suited to slide playing or to a buyer interested in an early Dobro project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x12ofw9d\"\u003ePlease note: \u003cstrong\u003ethis guitar is on consignment\u003c\/strong\u003e, so we cannot accept trades.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eFair\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c!--\/if--\u003e\u003c!--\/it--\u003e\u003c!--\/for--\u003e\u003c!--\/comp--\u003e\u003c!--\/it--\u003e\u003c!--\/for--\u003e\u003c!--\/comp--\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x12ofw9d\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSerial Number: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e1206\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x12ofw9d\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eBaldwin hardshell\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dobro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040530989295,"sku":"1206","price":1250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5341\/files\/Dobro-1.jpg?v=1791924241","url":"https:\/\/gpguitars.com\/products\/dobro-1","provider":"Garrett Park Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
