60's Mosrite Texarkana electric Dobro

Postby JohnRosett » Wed Jul 31, 2013 8:07 am

This is an early Mosrite Texarkana Dobro. It's original, except that the cone has been replaced, and a pair of Alnico 5 magnets have been added to the pickup, in an effort to boost output. It's a round neck, but is set up for lap style playing with a professionally made tall nut. The neck has some bowing, but it does have an adjustable truss rod. I've never tried to straighten it, but if someone was interested, I would take it to my luthier and have it straightened.
I'm not sure what kind of cone is in the guitar, but it sounds really good acoustically. The pickup is not all that great, but with the raised action, the strings are pretty far from the pole pieces. It might sound better if it was set up for standard playing. It comes with an old, beat up hard case, with the faux alligator vinyl peeling off. $600 plus actual shipping. I can't seem to post pictures here, but I'll be glad to email them.

I would consider a trade for a square neck resonator guitar or a mandolin.
