Comments | The Smith & Young division of National ResoPhonic focuses on producing historically correct versions of pre-war instruments, primarily late 1930’s Dobro designs with spider bridges. There are some modern upgrades – for example, these instruments have adjustable truss rods!This is an early Model 1 (steel body) in great condition. |
