SOLD! Thank you to the winning bidder.

Vintage Dobro Parlor Guitar Prison Art Bottleneck Blues
I purchased this guitar from the “Memphis Music Hall of Fame” Museum in Memphis Tennessee.
It includes a signed “Certificate of Authenticity” from the Museum Director in 2003 that reads:
AUTHENTIC “Dobro Reproduction Metal Guitar” Created by a Joliet Prison Inmate
Also includes a press release letter documenting the closing of the museum in 2001.
Although this guitar is listed as a Dobro, it contains no resonator. It has a round neck and is set up to be played like a standard guitar. Great for Bottleneck Slide style guitar
36 1/2 inches long

13 inch lower bout

9 inch upper bout

3/8 inch string height at 12th fret

open geared tuners

open head stock

neck attached at 12th fret

heavy steel constructed body

steel bolt for bridge

National style tailpiece

1950? Kent pickup with jack in lower bout (recently installed)

button strap endpin

No case

If only this guitar could talk. Can you imagine the story it might tell! I am assuming the guitar was made in the prison metal shop. The neck appears to be consistent with the manufactured styles made in the 1930s. The body’s parlor shape and design also seems to be from this period. It is possible that the original wooden body got destroyed, and was used as a pattern to create this guitar in steel. It may be that the builder made the guitar to resemble the steel bodied Dobro guitars that were popular during the 1930s.

In this first lesson, we will begin by training the right picking hand. Practicing an alternating bass picking pattern while fingering notes on the treble strings, we will learn Henry Worrall’s Spanish Fandango. A classic turn of the century parlor guitar piece that gained such popularity that Open G tuning is commonly referred to as Spanish tuning. Taught by Keni Lee Burgess.
