1987 Dobro Hula Blues Duolian Roundneck Resonator Silde Guitar Acoustic w/hc

Up for sale, a 1987 Dobro Hula Blues Duolian resonator acoustic guitar in exceptional condition and in perfect working order. A visually striking and sweet sounding instrument, this Dobro is ideally suited for slide and setup with action that allows the maple body to resonate fully. The 9 1/2 spun aluminum cone and biscuit bridge give this Dobro a characteristic tone, with brilliant highs and powerful, cutting lows. Currently strung with fresh 12-52 phosphor bronze strings, this Hula Blues Duolian has vintage looks and a classic tone.
The neck has a full "baseball bat" C profile, with a generous rosewood slab fretboard. The neck fills the palm but is still very manageable for conventional chording and lead lines if desired, with action that's purposefully set high at the bridge (not the nut), and could be adjusted lower if desired. Currently, the action sits at 3/16" at the 12th fret on the bass side, and just a hair lower on the treble side at the same fret. Speaking of the frets, they are in truly fantastic shape, with their full, original height, well rounded crowns, and only the faintest wear in the first position, primarily beneath the B string. The scale length is 24 3/4", and the nut width is a 1 13/16", ideal for fingerstyle playing with plenty of space between the strings for larger hands to feel at home. On the headstock, both the "Dobro" truss rod cover and "Duolian" shield decal are in fantastic shape, as well as the nickel tuning machines which turn very smoothly with pearloid buttons.
The body has clean, unfaded tropical graphics, with an arching palm tree and beach on the face, with the signature hula girl on the back of the instrument. Both the trapeze tailpiece and resonator cover have very clean plating with only the lightest patina. The biscuit bridge has plenty of height and has one tiny chip along the treble side edge that doesn't impede the high string from sitting firmly in its slot. There's even a bit of subtle birdseye figuring on the back of the guitar, visible through the green tinted maple and graphics.
Cosmetically, this is an extremely clean and well kept instrument, and the body is nearly flawless with barely a scratch or nick to be found. There is light wear along the edges of the headstock joint, from where the finish mildly reacted to a guitar hook (typical with some kinds of hooks and nitro lacquer). Otherwise, it would be difficult to find a cleaner Hula Blues Dobro Duolian!
The original hardshell case is included. All of the latches work and the handle is present, although quite a bit of tolex is missing from the exterior.
