{"product_id":"1937-dobro-no-62-1486","title":"1937 Dobro No. 62","description":"Serial #1868, stamped on the top of the headstock.  Built through the late 1930's, the Dobro model 62 featured fiddle-edge construction, a nickel-plated brass body with sand-blasted 'Spanish Dancer' scene, 14 fret mahogany neck, and bound rosewood fingerboard.  The fiddle-edge Dobro instruments were all built by Regal, and were often sold through catalogue stores bearing store-owned trademarks.   At $62 the model 62 was one of the more pricey Dobros available at it's introduction during the height of the Great Depression.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThis particular instrument is a real thing of beauty.  The nickel-plating is in excellent shape, and the guitar's body doesn't show the dings and dents we normally find on old metal-body guitars.  The cone and bridge are original, as are the frets and nut.  The guitar appears to have spent most of its life with a riser-nut and a Hawaiian set up.    Tuners are post-war Klusons, and there are no added screwholes beneath the tuner plates.  Apart from a few tuner and coverplate screws the only other non original part is a newer maple saddle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \r\nThe guitar plays very easily with standard 'Spanish' set up and comfortable action. The neck has a soft V profile that's neither large nor small, and the original frets play remarkably well.   1-3\/4\" nut width, 24.6\" scale.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nWith newer hardshell case\r\n\r\n","brand":"DOBRO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53610528244078,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/3660\/5550\/files\/Dobro-0712-main.jpg?v=1790964791","url":"https:\/\/folkwaymusic.com\/products\/1937-dobro-no-62-1486","provider":"Folkway Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
