{"product_id":"dobro-squareneck-sn-813044d-no-case","title":"Dobro OMI Model 27 ‘Sunburst’ Squareneck Resonator Guitar Preowned 1984","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Dobro Model 27 is the classic wood-bodied resonator for lap-style playing, and this 1984 example was built by OMI, the Original Musical Instrument Company, in California. OMI was founded in 1967 by Rudy and Emile Dopyera, two of the family behind the original Dobro of 1928, and instruments from the OMI era are prized by bluegrass, country, and blues players for their warm, woody, and instantly recognisable voice. A single spun aluminium cone with a spider bridge delivers the sweet, ringing sustain and the sliding, singing tone that squareneck Dobros are famous for, ideal for slide and lap-steel players in bluegrass, country, and roots music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe laminated maple body wears a classic sunburst finish, and the soundwell construction, dual soundholes, and poinsettia coverplate give the guitar its traditional look and its characteristic voice. A square maple neck with a 1-13\/16\" nut and a 24-3\/8\" scale provides the familiar lap-steel feel, while a 14\" lower bout gives plenty of body and projection. Chrome hardware completes a straightforward, workmanlike specification built for playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis 1984-built guitar has plenty of natural wear and vintage vibe, but plays and sounds incredible. Full of character, with a woody, earthy tone that you've heard on a million recordings. A true piece of American resonator history from the years before Gibson took over production. Includes gig bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt in 1984 by OMI in California, from the era before Gibson took over Dobro production.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-cone resonator with spider bridge delivers the sweet, ringing sustain and singing slide tone of a classic Dobro.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaminated maple body in sunburst, with soundwell construction, dual soundholes, and a poinsettia coverplate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquare maple neck for lap-style playing, with a 1-13\/16\" nut and 24-3\/8\" scale length.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA 14\" lower bout provides a full, powerful voice, ideal for bluegrass, country, blues, and slide playing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: Dobro (OMI) Model 27 Squareneck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYear: 1984\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: Laminated maple, 14\" lower bout, approx. 3-1\/8\" depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Sunburst\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: Soundwell, dual soundholes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResonator: Single cone, spider bridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoverplate: Poinsettia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: Square maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut width: 1-13\/16\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale length: 24-3\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware: Chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectronics: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in: USA (Huntington Beach, California)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DOBRO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68068373627101,"sku":"CON2181","price":2499.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/8045\/files\/0H3A2345_c802b9a7-1ec6-4116-b510-2af22d72cec3.jpg?v=1794542851","url":"https:\/\/www.acousticcentre.com.au\/products\/dobro-squareneck-sn-813044d-no-case","provider":"Acoustic Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
