Full Description
View Full DescriptionClassic resonator with a modern twist
This Hound Dog Deluxe Resonator yields bright and tight tonal characteristics in abundance, and this is thanks in no small part to the flame maple body. Using maple as a tonewood delivers excellent levels of sustain, holding a strong upper midrange with a nice amount of bite, as well as bringing some stunning aesthetics to the party. Also featuring a Dobro single cone resonator, the 3.5” body holds a huge number of sonic possibilities. The resonator is topped with a nickel plated fan cover, which contrasts well with the Vintage Brown finish, providing a classically vintage guitar with all the perks of modern technology – sonically and visually.
Equipped with a Fishman Resonator pickup that can be used to enhance the resonator’s natural projection, this guitar is perfect for performing musicians of multiple styles and genres. The Hound Dog Deluxe provides smooth and authentic amplification whilst retaining the natural tone of the American classic resonator guitar. Unlock a world of new sounds with the Fishman pickup’s increased projection, it also offers strong and consistent resistance to feedback so you can find your ideal voice at all times.
Built for comfort, and built to last
The Mahogany neck joins the body at the 12th fret, and it features a round profile providing a comfortable playability. Using mahogany as the tonewood for the neck infuses the Resonator with a glorious warmth, resonance and clear highs. Topped with a rosewood fingerboard that adds further clarity to the sound, and its smooth surface will provide a comfortable and energetic playing experience. The Dobro Hound Dog Deluxe is equipped with reliable hardware including premium Grover machine heads, a spider bridge and a nickel-plated tailpiece. Grover Tuners provide precise intonation and work with the classic spider bridge – which features an ebony saddle upon maple base – to keep the guitar in tune for longer and project a full tone.
The Dobro Story
The Dobro brand of resonator is deeply intertwined with guitar history. Synonymous with this resonator are the country, folk, blues and bluegrass styles that access the distinct tone of the guitar for highly emotive expression. First arriving on the scene in the 1920s, the Dobro became an instant American classic and has remained so ever since, and today the Dobro brand’s heritage and traditions live on through the Gibson and Epiphone brands.
