Dobro Bluegrass Hound Dog M-14; Metal Body - Nickel

A Classic Resonator Guitar from the one and only Dobro

Epiphone presents the new Dobro Hound Dog M-14 Metalbody guitar with an easy to play Round Neck. The Dobro Hound Dog M-14 resonator guitar features the same renowned sound of the American original that’s been dazzling and inspiring musicians since the late 1920s. The Dobro Hound Dog M-14 Metalbody also has a vintage styled 4-color “Dobro” decal with the iconic harp logo.

The Dobro Company, much like Epiphone, is one of the revered names in the history of American guitar makers. And the new Dobro Hound Dog M-14 Metalbody, brought to you by Epiphone, is the perfect instrument for players who want the beautiful articulation of a metal body guitar for blues, fingerpicking, jazz, or even light slide for classic Delta or Hawaiian styles.

Classic Resonator Body

The body of the Dobro Hound Dog M-14 is made from Bell Brass with nickel plating with a 14 1/8” Lower Bout Width, a 10 3/8” Upper Bout Width and a depth of 3-1/2”. The tone of the Hound Dog M-14 is rich and full with a gentle decay that makes both fingerpicking and slide smooth and easy in all registers.

The Mahogany neck has a natural satin finish with an easy-to-fret 1960s SlimTaper neck that’s joined to the body at the 14th fret with Neck-Stick Construction. The flat Rhodamnia fingerboard has pearloid “dot” inlays with 19 medium frets and a bone nut.

Dual Action Truss Rod

The new Dobro Hound Dog M-14 avoids old problems endemic on the vintage dobro thanks to a dual action adjustable truss rod and a bone nut which makes it easy to set up the Hound Dog M-14 to any style or action. The strings sit on a Hard Maple saddle with an Ebony cap. The headstock has a Rounded “Dobro” shape seen on rare (and expensive) vintage models.

Grover mini-Rotomatic Machine Heads

Tuning the M-14 is made smooth and intuitive with Grover mini-Rotomatic machine heads with an 18:1 ratio.
