The Dobson tone ring injects a wonderful, sustained resonance and a vocal-like depth into the bass strings, while the 11\" pot prevents the sound from getting muddy. It gives you a remarkably punchy, \"plunky\" vintage character, but with enough high-end sparkle and definition to cut through a jam and a healthy midrange to add character and fundamental presence. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 11” Dobson Standard features a three-piece cherry neck with a traditional folk heel, a two-way adjustable truss rod, a 1-5\/16” wide nut, and a 26.2” scale length.
