Hi all, I recieved a Dobro from my Father when he Passed and I was wonderin if anyone knew any details about this guitar. I have been unable to locate it and wasnt able to ask my father about it. I do remember when he aquired it it was late 60's early 70's in a trade. Thanks for your time.
Details I can tell you.
Serial # on headstock says 2, inside l fhole it says 9-40, inside r fhole it says 4889-269, it has a single aluminum cone with a split wood bridge. it looks like a flame maple painted on with painted on binding. It has 18 frets and on the chrome cover it says Licensed by nationial Dobro corp.
