That would be more like a Style 10.
OK, this one has to be heard. Clips? Stop by my studio, we'll record a few.

Wow.
Carroll is truly an artist.
I have one of Carroll's 8 string resonators, and, I am the proud keeper of a 1927 Style 2.5 Dobro. (patent pending)
I must say that the spirit of the Dopyera Brothers lives on.

No, but now I am......
I think I see what you're asking about....where the neck joins the body at the back.....no, that's the flash causing an illusion.....you can barely see the seam in real life if you look real close..... |

HELLO HOWARD,
WHEW! I bet you are busted.
That is "One Beautiful Resonator Guitar" 
Did you design it yourself?
I would believe the tone of this guitar is quite mellow.

I don't know ... there are a few empty spots that could use some more engraving ... LoL 
Seriously though, what a beauty! There are some serious hours invested in creating her.
