Smith & Young Model 1 Roundneck guitar with custom Jason Lollar Charlie Christian pickup! Hard shell case. This model is no longer in production, and is hard to find!' The Smith and Young line is named after Eric Smith and Don Young, the owners of National ResoPhonic Guitars. This line of instruments is intended to reproduce historically correct pre-war era instruments, in the style of the highly desirable late 1930s Dobro guitars with Spider bridges. To avoid confusion with the dozens of Biscuit-cone and Tri-cone guitars built under the National ResoPhonic brand name, Eric and Don decided to debut an entirely new “brand name” to highlight these unique insttruments. Tonally these guitars offer the classic pre-war midrange tone that one would expect from a Spider-bridge type resonator but far more bass and volume than I’ve ever encountered in any vintage Dobro. The steel body versions are slightly sharper in the trebles with a more compressed and tighter bass. Bridge: Maple Nut Width: 1 13/16" Neck Material: Maple Neck Profile: Round Scale Length: 25" Frets to Body: 12 Total Frets: 19 Inlays: Mother of pearl dots Tuners: 3-on-a-plate Finish: Rubbed nickel Case: Orig. Hard The Model 1 in steel weighs in at 7 lbs 11 oz
