Description:
Dobro Hound Dog M-14 Metalbody (Round Neck): Classic resonator guitar from the only and only Dobro.
Epiphone presents the new Dobro Hound Dog M-14 Metalbody guitar with an easy to play Round Neck. The Hound Dog M-14 features the renowned style and sound of an American original thats been dazzling and inspiring musicians since the late 1920s and is the perfect instrument for players who want the beautiful articulation of a metal body guitar for blues, fingerpicking, jazz, or even light 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 18 1/8 Lower Bout Width, a 10 3/8 Upper Bout Width and a depth of 3 . 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.
The Mahogany neck has a natural satin finish with an easy-to-fret 1960s SlimTaper neck thats joined to the body at the 14th fret with Neck-Stick Construction. The Rosewood fingerboard has pearloid dot inlays with 19 medium frets, a 12 radius, and a bone nut.
Dual Action Trust Rod: The first generation of original Dobro instruments look great but often suffer from warped necks or poor intonation. The modern new 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 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. There is also the 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. And the Hound Dog M-14 comes ready to play with DAddario EJ42 medium gauge strings.
