2004 Original Hound Dog Round Neck Resonator

Because of its bluesy growl, whine, and howl with a slide, the resonator guitar has been called a "hound dog" guitar in some circles for many years. In 1967, the owners of Dobro embraced this nickname and adopted the "Original Hound Dog" brand name when they temporarily lost the rights to "Dobro." After Gibson acquired Dobro in 1997, they picked up where Dobro left off with a new line of Original Hound Dog resonator guitars, made in Nashville, Tennessee.  This Original Hound Dog was made by Gibson in Nashville in 2004. Set up with a round-neck for regular playing, it features a 12-fret neck, a wood body, and a 10-1/2" Dobro cone with a spider bridge. It is a no-frills resonator that delivers authentic, swampy tone. It even includes a factory-installed pickup, so it's ready to crank up on stage or in the studio/practice room.  This 2004 Original Hound Dog shows some wear and tear, especially around the edges because there is no body binding (most severe is around the back edge—see photo
