Not a budget option

BencC 05.04.2020

I started off a few years ago with a gretsch bobtail and quite liked it esp-ecially with the pickup and aura pedal. Found the bass strings a bit 'flabby.' Found a good deal on a National Scheerhorn Mahogany which of course was a beautifully built 'dobro' and put the bobtail in the shade. Thing is I never quite bonded with it so ended up selling it. So I saw these and thought I'd have a look and quite honestly it is my favourite of the 3 I've played. The action is tight and the instrument has volume and power but also the sweetness you need in the dobro. Really very happy with it and wouldn't be surprised to see the price go up at some point when RK realise how good this is. I will get a nashville pickup added I expect but not sure I'll swap out the parts for Beard ones as I was intending before I played it. It really is that good.

Great value

I have played guitar for many years, but never played a resonator guitar before. This is a perfect beginners instrument. It sounds great with no buzzes. The top is laminated wood, as on most inexpensive dobros. That doesn’t really matter much on this kind of instrument, because most of the sound comes from the cone. Get one and start playing!

Opravdu skvělý nástroj

Stanislav ?. 31.07.2021

Přiznám se, že jsem se docela bál, když jsem Recording King RR 75 PL - SN Phil Leadbetter objednával. Vyhledal jsem rozmanité recenze a zkušenosti muzikantů a teď vidím, že jsem chybu neudělal. Perfektně zpracovaný nástroj, hraje prostě úžasně. Protože dlouho nebylo tohle dobro na skladě, cvičil jsem na přeladěnou akustickou kytaru. Teď už mohu ocenit, jak pěkně hraje opravdové dobro a jak bohatý zvuk má. Takže nejsem jen spokojen, jsem doslova nadšen a nástroj mohu opravdu doporučit. Navíc cena byla víc než příznivá. Děkuji!

satter Sound und toller Optik

Banjomann 26.01.2021

Ich habe lange überlegt und mich dann für die Recording King RR-75PL-SN Phil Leadbetter entschieden. Da ich nur im kleinen Kreis spiele, lässt sich der fehlende Tonabnehmer verschmerzen. Das Instrument hat einen warmen, kraftvollen Klang mit sehr gutem Sustain. Genau der Sound den man von vielen Dobroaufnahmen kennt.
Die Verarbeitung ist gut mit kleinen Schönheitsfehlern, die dem Klang natürlich nicht schaden. Die Stmmwirbel könnten etwas leichtgängiger sein, aber einmal gestimmt ist ein Nachstimmen nur sehr selten nötig.
