Don Buzard's 10 string 1938 dobro lower price TTT

Ivan Goldstein · From: Vermont, USA

I bought this on ebay about 12 years ago. It is currently set up as a six string but has 10 grover tuners.This is a very rare, extra large bodied dobro with a 15 1/2 inch lower bout.I have included a photo of this guitar next to a similar vintage style 27 for comparison. It has a beautiful rich bottom while still retaining sweet high tones.

Originally an 8 string, Don converted it to 10. The coverplate was custom engraved at the Dopeyera shop. It is pretty stunning and I have been told it would cost about 1,000.00 to replicate. The guitar has a pro setup with a Quarterman cone. I had a local metal worker customize a palm rest and tail piece for it. The guitar includes the original 10 string saddle, the six string tailpiece that is on it now and a 12 string trapeze tailpiece. The only thing you would need to do to convert it back to a 10 would be to unscrew the palm rest (2 screws), switch tailpieces, and cut a new nut (I will include the appropriate sized blank). It comes with a SKB case that fits it really well. I would prefer not to ship but we can work on that. 1600.00 Trades and offers welcomed. Feel free to email me with questions.
