Overview of Epiphone Dobro Hound Dog M-14 Metal Body Round Neck
The Classic Metal-Bodied Resonator Guitar From the One and Only Dobro
Epiphone presents the Dobro Hound Dog M-14 Metalbody guitar with an easy-to-play round neck. The Dobro Hound Dog M-14 resonator guitar features the renowned style and sound of an American original thats been dazzling and inspiring musicians since the late 1920s.
There are a few guitars that can cross generational lines and attract the instant attention of players everywhere, no matter what style of music they play. In the world of electric guitars, everyone wants a Les Paul. And in the world of acoustic guitars, every player wants a great metal body resonator guitar.
The Dobro Company, much like Epiphone, is one of the revered names in the history of American guitar makers. The new Dobro Hound Dog M-14 Metalbody, brought to you by Epiphone, is the perfect instrument for players who want the beautiful articulation of a metal body guitar for blues, fingerpicking, jazz, or even slide for classic Delta or Hawaiian styles.
Classic Resonator Body: The body of the Dobro Hound Dog M-14 is made from bell brass with nickel plating with a 12 1/8 lower bout width, a 10 3/8 upper bout width, and a depth of 3 1/2. The biscuit resonator delivers distinctive, classic Dobro tones. The tone of the Hound Dog M-14 is rich and full, with quick decay that makes both fingerpicking and slide smooth and easy in all registers.
Mahogany Neck: The mahogany neck has a natural satin finish with a round, easy-to-fret 1960s SlimTaper neck profile that is joined to the body at the 14th fret with neck-stick construction. The rosewood fretboard has pearloid dot inlays with 19 medium frets, a 12 radius, and a bone nut.
Dual Action Truss Rod: The first generation of original Door instruments looked great but often suffered from warped necks and poor intonation. The modern Dobro Hound Dog M-14 does away with all of those old problems thanks to a dual-action adjustable truss rod and bone nut, which makes it easy to set up the Hound Dog M-14 to any style. The strings sit on a hard maple saddle with an ebony cap. The headstock has a rounded Dobro shape seen on rare (and expensive) vintage models. The Dobro Hound Dog M-14 Metalbody also has a vintage-styled 4-color Dobro decal with the iconic harp logo.
Grover Mini Rotomatic Machine Heads: Tuning the M-14 is made smooth and intuitive with Grover Mini Rotomatic machine heads with an 18:1 ratio.
