Description
The Epiphone Dobro Hound Dog M-14 Metal Body in Nickel is a great fit for players chasing that classic resonator sound without dealing with the quirks that often come with vintage instruments. Whether you're into Delta blues, slide, fingerstyle, folk, or even roots rock, this one delivers the sharp articulation and quick response that metal-body resonators are known for. It keeps the traditional Dobro character intact while adding modern reliability that makes it easier to live with day to day.
The nickel-plated bell brass body gives the Hound Dog M-14 its bright, punchy voice with a fast decay that works especially well for slide and fingerpicking. The biscuit resonator design keeps the tone focused and expressive, with plenty of projection and that unmistakable metallic edge. A hard maple saddle with an ebony cap helps transfer vibration efficiently, while the overall setup feels responsive across the full range of the guitar.
The mahogany neck with a 60s SlimTaper profile keeps things comfortable and approachable, especially if you're coming from a standard acoustic or electric. The dual-action truss rod and Grover Mini Rotomatic tuners make setup and tuning stability much more dependable than older resonator designs. We like this for players who want the vintage resonator experience with modern playability and less maintenance hassle.
