Hello! 

This is probably a hard ask, but I thought to put it out there to see what people might have. I have been primarily playing lap steel these days and am considering trading my Fine Resophonic Dobro round neck for a squareneck resonator (tricone or dobro). I’m not looking to sell at this point.



This is a fantastic guitar that you can hear being played by better hands than mine here:

There is one shop I was recommended to go to get a raised nut/modified saddle made, but cost is considerable and would involve two 12 hour days of travel on two trains and a bus. Given that I figured I should try to explore alternative options in the meantime in case the perfect trade was out there. If nothing is out there I will likely get the work done in a few months and hold on to the Dobro 

The dobro has been setup by Steve at Beltona guitars and works really well for fingerstyle/slide playing. With the current setup it can be played in standard, open D, and open G with no issues. 

I’m happy to send additional photos/videos and answer any questions 

I am based in Newcastle upon Tyne
