The 1984 Dobro Model 60D is a hallmark of the "OMI Era" (Original Musical Instrument Company). Built in California by the Dopyera brothers—the original inventors of the Dobro—after they reacquired the brand name, these instruments are prized for their historical continuity and traditional construction. The appeal of the 1984 Dobro 60D lies in its "mid-range punch" and woody warmth. Unlike the metallic "clank" of steel or brass-bodied resonators, the 60D’s maple construction offers a throatier, more organic growl that sits perfectly in a bluegrass or folk mix.

Because it was manufactured by OMI just a few years before Gibson’s acquisition of the brand, many players view the 1984 models as the last of the "true" family-run Dobros. They are celebrated for their "honky" resonance and the distinctive sustain of the spider-bridge design, making them a natural choice for anyone seeking the authentic sound of 1930s Americana with 1980s reliability.
