Worthy of some old time music 'street cred', this Buckbee-style Dobson is perfect for clawhammer or up-picking styles with a ~10-7/8" hide head, and Dobson tone ring. Unknown maker but has a newer neck with a vintage pot and a mix of newer and old hardware. The two piece mahogany neck with ebony fretboard is mounted to the rim with brass flathead screws on either side of the unmarked mahogany dowel into the folk-style heel. Contributing to the understated looks are the brass marker dot inlays and newer brass hardware including the hooks, nuts and tailpiece. Along with the Peghed tuners in the acute angled headstock it checks the boxes for old-school vibes. Comes with gigbag. Vintage parts made in USA.
