- Made of Core
- 19 boxes, the 12th round bead
- Channel through
- Mcaniques that do not move trs

Note trs a good quality of manufacturing: the finish is impeccable, nothing Exceeds, no apparent default. on the other hand, classical default: the NEC is a nest fingerprint but is not really his fault.

UTILIZATION

The handle is in the middle: the shredders will be difficult, but a dobro is not for a, and find a rhythm stick trs enjoyable use. on the other hand, do not (or little) the fact of accder in boxes 12 +: the heel of the neck and the lack of pan shot blocking game in the left hand (or right if your left handed) ... The action is slightly high pass the 7th box, but nothing rhdibitoire, and only the electric guitar will be a lightweight effort to adapt.

These remarks are valid for a tuning "classic" and a set of the same ilk, however if you want to use their true nature, it will open G and bottleneck! And without achieving the quality of a National (a is a mid-range, even when, right), a hard! And few complaints have deficits above really short ...

SOUNDS

In sound, I would put the record straight: I put 9, to stay a little * * goal, but if there had me, I would 10.

Why? Because a dobro is not a folk: the sound is more powerful, more mtallique, a little 'dirty', too. Some people think a guitar twists sche gives a soft, warm, but also The variety of sounds available, dobros are a bit part. Personally, I use it as a folk, and I sound like the satisfaction of person when I listen what I do, there is half the people who do not, thinking that I 'I doctored the sound, and the other half who loves ... This kind of guitar is most often intended to slide in open G, and strangely, in this case the least * a * shocking the audience ...

By consquent if you are looking this kind of sound, go for it. If you are looking folk, do not take a biscuit, but if you have the possibility the story try to make your own IDE.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had 5-6 years now ... And I love it! The sound is dirty, mtallique, almost cold. It has its own identity etchange a little fawn's playing: I was dj noted that for a given piece I do not play in the same fawn if I was playing on a folk or the Biscuit, it's a fact.

In dpart, I wanted a classic dreadnought: I tried an Art & Lutherie (very good, by the way), the Biscuit silent on display in recent weeks, and I liked, but silent out budget. From buying the A & L I dj essay in other stores, I tried a small test of the Biscuit, like "you never know" ... And I fell madly. So, I left with: the shop made me a little rduction (c'tait the day of the fte music, aad help!), And I ate p thy for 2 months.

So Obviously, this is comparable with other dobros: and it's all good, especially ramen at a price. Sr good, keep at the top it's a mid-range, and a 2000 National finer sound. But if you like it once, you will love forever. Do I repeat a silent if she steals / breaks (I never lose it!): Yes, a thousand times yes!

A condition of the find because are bigger default is to be mconnue and therefore not distributed.
