The Dobro guitar owes its popularity to the wide variety of styles pioneered by many great and influential musicians. The resonator was designed to increase the volume of an acoustic guitar and gives the Dobro its unique sound. Often played with a slide, you can hear the Dobro in many Blues, Bluegrass, and Country music songs. This is a selection of resonator guitars from Gibson’s Dobro brand.
