Johnson 'Dobro'


I got this Chinese (?) Dobro-clone new from Hobgoblin in  London in 1999. It was  just £175 but I have since
spent quite a bit having it set up. I was really looking for a square neck for steel playing  but it sounded
so good I got it anyway &  fitted a nut extender I got from Paul Beard   to raise the action.
The resonator is the spider-bridge type. Maybe my ears need cleaning, but it sounds
as good to me as the real thing.
