Here's a really sweet looking and sounding Dobro from the mid to late 60s. The Dobro Model 30s have a very slim neck for easy playing, a nice resonator sound that's full and pronounced and packs enough blues to go Taj Mahal if that's what you're after. This one had a complete set up from Jake Wildwood as you can see from his listing about a year ago. I owned this guitar but went to the expense of sending it to him to spiff it up to full-playing shape...which he did. He also installed a K&K pickup and I played it through a Fender Acoustasonic and it sounded fabulous. If you want to read Jake's take on the guitar and hear his recorded sample, just Google Jake Wildwood's blog spot and find "1960S DOBRO MODEL 30 "GOLD" RESONATOR GUITAR."
So it's a Dobro, it has a steel body and a big, biscuit-bridge single cone and did I mention that it has gold fleck paint? Wow! One body dent that I have pictured on the edge of the left lower bout. The person I bought it from said it took a hard fall so the paint and the steel is chipped away in that spot. For a right-handed player, no one in the audience will ever know.
