Description
The Epiphone Dobro Hound Dog Round Neck in Vintage Brown is a great starting point for players wanting to step into the world of resonators. With its no-frills, straightforward build and classic spider bridge setup, this one's ideal for traditional blues, folk, or slide players who want that unmistakable Dobro sound without paying a premium.
It features a plain maple laminate body with a hand-rubbed finish that gives it a worn-in, natural look. The 10.5" resonator cone paired with an open soundwell delivers strong projection and a focused midrange character that cuts through well whether you're playing fingerstyle or bottleneck slide. Under the hood, the spider bridge with ebony-capped maple base gives you the sustain and punch that define the Dobro voice.
The round mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard is easy on the hands, especially with the 12-inch radius and 1.75" nut width giving you plenty of space for both fingerstyle and slide work. It's a comfortable player, simple by design, but built to last. If you're after a solid acoustic resonator with no nonsense, we'd happily recommend this one.
