{"product_id":"dobro-dw90ctn-resophonic-guitar-2001-12409","title":"Dobro DW90CTN Resophonic Guitar (2001)","description":"Dobro DW90CTN Model Resophonic Guitar (2001), made in Nashville, TN, serial # D1051810, natural lacquer finish, laminated maple body, maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, original black tolex hard shell case. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a fairly obscure model from the flagship days of Gibson's ownership of the Dobro brand, which they acquired in 1993 then moved to Nashville in 1997-8. The DW-90 was a fairly high end model, in this case with the added feature of a cutaway so definitely designed for Spanish (not lap) style play. The instrument is built with some very lovely flame maple on both body and neck, and looks rather like a showpiece. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe instrument is built around a standard Dobro cone\/coverplate and has a single rakish f-hole on the bass side of the top, with a treble side cutaway in place of the lower. The flame maple neck has an unbound rosewood fingerboard and is much slimmer than pre-war style Dobro standard, definitely aimed at modern players. This guitar really excels at hybrid standard\/slide playing in the Delta blues mode and has a deeper but ballsier sound than many modern resonator instruments. Gibson is not currently building anything like this anymore and they didn't make a lot of them when they were!\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 38 1\/2 in. (97.8 cm.), 14 1\/4 in. (36.2 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 4 3\/4 in. (12.1 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 25 in. (635 mm.). Width of nut is 1 5\/8 in. (41 mm.). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis guitar shows signs of light wear and play but no damage or repair. The finish has some minor scuffing overall with a few deeper scratches on the lower back. There is what appears to be a factory-filled flaw in the fingerboard at the 8th fret. The coverplate has some scuffing to the plating and light accumulated funk around the screws spots; the instrument was living in New Orleans humidity until recently. The action is low at the nut and a bit higher (4\/32\") at the 12th fret, optimally set up for a Spanish\/slide hybrid style. This cool if fairly obscure piece of Gibson\/Dobro history lives in the original case with some original Gibson paperwork included. Overall Excellent Condition.","brand":"Dobro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46853678268556,"sku":"12409","price":2000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/8702\/3756\/files\/01_08ec4409-b18d-40c4-8191-915b3daadeba.jpg?v=1774342651","url":"https:\/\/retrofret.com\/products\/dobro-dw90ctn-resophonic-guitar-2001-12409","provider":"RetroFret","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
