Epiphone Dobro Hound Dog M-14 Metal Body Acoustic Guitar w/Hardshell Case, Nickel

The legendary Dobro resonator, refined for today's players
The Dobro™ Hound Dog M-14 stands apart as an acoustic resonator guitar with exceptional presence and character. It delivers a clear, commanding voice, impressive projection, and remarkable sustain, all anchored by the distinctive sound that defines a true American resonator classic. Alongside Epiphone, Dobro remains one of the most respected names in American guitar craftsmanship. Now enhanced and presented by Epiphone, the updated Dobro Hound Dog M-14 is built for players seeking articulate response, greater acoustic output, and the unmistakable tonal personality that only a metal-body resonator can provide.

Constructed with a nickel-plated brass body, the Dobro Hound Dog M-14 produces a rich, evocative tone that excels in blues, bluegrass, and country, and shines in expressive slide work. Its polished metal surface offers striking visual appeal on any stage. The instrument also benefits from an updated resonator assembly featuring a newly designed cover plate, paired with a biscuit-style resonator and a hard maple bridge topped with a resilient ebony cap.

Engineered with playability in mind, the Hound Dog M-14 is equipped with a mahogany neck shaped to Epiphone's comfortable C profile. This makes it well-suited for a wide range of approaches, including traditional Spanish-style fingerpicking, flatpicking, slide techniques, and Hawaiian lap-style playing. The neck joins the body at the 14th fret using neck-stick construction, giving players extended access to the upper register when playing in standard position. A dual-action truss rod is also included for straightforward, precise adjustments.

Further refinements include a newly appointed bound rosewood fretboard that enhances both feel and appearance. Outfitted with 19 medium frets and accented with pearloid dot inlays, it offers a smooth and inviting playing surface. The 12" radius fretboard supports effortless transitions between chords, melodic lines, and slide passages, appealing to experienced resonator players and newcomers alike.

Topping it off is the classic Dobro Hound Dog headstock shape, fitted with Grover® Mini Rotomatic® tuners featuring an 18:1 gear ratio for dependable, accurate tuning. A bone nut and the signature Dobro four-color harp logo decal complete the traditional aesthetic.

The Dobro Hound Dog M-14 comes fitted with Gibson .012-.053" gauge strings and is now packaged in an attractive hardshell case featuring Dobro exterior graphics and a green plush interior, offering secure protection whether at home or on the road. There's never been a better time to discover the distinctive tonal range of a Dobro resonator guitar. Order today with the assurance of Epiphone's limited lifetime warranty.
