I've always wanted a guitar with that kind of headstock.. i first sketched a guitar (bass, actually) with that exact headstock shape back in 1978  Just a couple years ago, i found the pics of a similar "canoe-paddle" headstock on one of Orville Gibson's 1897 all-walnut creations, which reminded me again of my early idea - and last year, when i started sketching this Dobro, i knew immediately my design had found it's way home... |

Leaving it natural really shows the quality of the workmanship and the wood. A great advert for the company. | |

michael, how much would this one cost, if it were to be a NORMAL acoustical guitar? not dobro, but with a normal soundhole (without the rozet) cause i LOVE the woods, but not the dobro-element. i am not really into slideguitar, and whatever I do with slide, i play on my strats, which goes quite fine. so: how much

The 'same guitar', except built as a radical arch-backed flat-top (instead of a Dobro) would cost something in the neighbourhood of $3000 if built by us... so we don't plan to build many acoustic guitars! Acoustics require so much special custom tooling, (bending jigs, etc) its not profitable to make them unless you set up a full-blown acoustic shop making a very limited set of models full time. Thats why its not uncommon to pay $5,000-10,000+ for a real custom acoustic in America... basically its one guy taking six to nine months out of his life to build it! |

Hi Michael! I think that the price helps in keeping it more special if you own one! I bet you can't wait to add this one to your collection. It's will be a beauty for sure. | |

3000 euro's for a handbuild acoustical guitar....thats not much really...but still...its SO much work!! SO much work.... but if i ever want one like this (but just like a normal acoustic, no arched back/top, just like a normal flamengo, but with these woods) I sure as hell will consider you guys (but first; a les paul!!) this thing is just pure eye-candy. what can I say? |

There are two basic kinds of resonator guitar: 1) National "biscuit" bridge - the bridge is attached directly to the center of the cone (convex cone) 2) Dobro "spider" bridge - the bridge is attached to a metal "spider" which contacts the cone on the edges. (concave cone, like a loudspeaker) As you can imagine, they each have their own distinct sound! there also is a sort of a Hybrid called a TRICONE, but its really three little 'biscuit' cones that are connected with a "t-bridge" that straddles them. Plenty of Good info can be found at the links below: NATIONAL DOBRO |

the biscuit bridge ones are cheaper ( less parts!) but i have seen brand-new Korean resonators of both kinds going for under $200 on ebay. |
