1978 Dobro Model 33H Resophonic Guitar SOLD

For decades, the Dobro name defined the genre, though it grew out of the National company. The Dobro Model 33H was built from 1973 to 1977 with a plated brass body.

 

Founded by the Dopyera Brothers after they split off from National around 1928, Dobro made resophonic guitars under a variety of names, including Regal, Orpheum, Alhambra, Angelus, and Montgomery-Ward. Over the years, the Dobro company has had many owners and is now a division of Gibson.

 

Here we have a 1978 Dobro Model 33H, a single-cone, biscuit bridge in a chrome-plated brass body. The original cone and biscuit had collapsed, so they were replaced in our repair shop with modern National parts. The result is a perfectly serviceable guitar!

 

A black hardshell case is included.
