How does it sound? Bassy? Loud? Muddy? Mellow?

That looks pretty cool Jason! Would be interesting to see a side by side comparison with a regular sized version.

I agree. I'd love to see a side-by-side with another dobro - especially to see the waist comparison.

If you could, toss up a body depth comparison, too..

I made a baritione single cone (national style). It's my standard 12 fret body shape and size, but about 5" deep at the tail. Lots of extra lows and mids and some additional 'reverb'.
Nothing at all wrong with a big body. Wink

Jason,

I think it looks great. I would like to see it with the sound holes with rings in them though.

Most of the newer "big" bodys seem to get their size with a deeper body.

I like the looks of yours better than the classic Show Bro...
Link to auction on eBay.

Those always look funny to me.

Jason, I think your guitar looks well proportioned. It also looks like the work of a master craftsman.
