Very very rare .. Dobro Brand.
Mosrite built ? ( nope ) built by the Dopyera Brothers... then sold to Mosrite.
Dobro/Resonator D50S Josh Graves. Square neck with rare slotted headstock. Ser# on top of headstock not on fingerboard. Typical condition for a collectable playable vintage instrument. No body cracks or repairs, has ( adjustable ) square neck.. Neck has dry cracks in it but it's not broken or repaired.. Has rare offset spider, has inlay frets not metal . Very nice guitar with volume to be proud of and some long lasting sustain.. Just shop adjusted and a bone saddle installed. Comes with original hard case.
Historically..
The Dobro name was on hiatus from World War II until 1965, when the Dopyeras began building Dobro-branded guitars again. (in the 1950s and early 60s, Ed and Rudy Dopyera made guitars under the name "DB Original.")
In 1966, they sold the Dobro name to Mosrite. The Mosrite-builit guitars followed the specs of the 1965 Dopyera Dobros, with the most recognizable feature being the seive-style plates in the soundholes and aluminum nut. The Mosrite-built guitars have a serial number pressed into the fingerboard near the body; the Dopyeras put the serial number in the end of the peghead.
Mosrite went bankrupt in 1969. The Dopyeras -- doing business as Original Musical Instruments -- reacquired the Dobro name in 1970.
Selling as is with no returns or refunds or part refunds or show and tell through the mail.
