I purchased the dobro online from The Guitar Sanctuary in Texas for $5590.00USD ($7649.36CAN)...you can see from the pic of the receipt that no tax was charged at the time of purchase, but over $727.70CAN tax was charged when it made it's way across the border from the US to Canada making the total paid for this instrument $8376.06CAN...
This dobro is equipped with something called a hipshot doubleshot bridge which allows the player to alternate between two different tunings at the flick of a lever. One may not want to change tunings in the middle of a tune although you could definitely do that...but most dobro players are familiar with open G and open D tunings...with this bridge you can alternate between those two tunings instantly without having to retune at all...like having two instruments. Locking tuners are also a nice touch. Included is a nice dobro capo, bar, and quality dobro strap...but more importantly also included is a Fishman Aura Acoustic imaging pedal ($519.99CAN on RedOne) as well as a Fishman Tonedeq pedal ($430.00CAN on Amazon)...when you're on Youtube do a search for "Jerry Douglas Gear" and you'll find a video of Jerry Douglas explaining how he uses both of these pedals as part of his rig...
It's in immaculate condition save a microscopic little tic on the back that you wouldn't ever notice unless you were looking for it with a magnifying glass. It's been all polished up and it's currently in it's hard shell case in the shipping box with no less than 3 Boveda humidipaks inside the case to keep the humidity at an optimum level...ready to ship at a moment's notice...
This is an opportunity to get some amazing gear that any dobro player would drool over...and at a price that can't be beat...give it some thought and please let me know if you're interested or have any questions. Given that the value of what I'm offering totals more than $9500.00CAN the price will stay where it is...if it doesn't sell after a month or so I'll just unpack it, remove the listing and keep on plugging away at it ...thanks for checking it out!
