This Dobro once belonged to the legendary steel guitar / Dobro player “Hal Rugg” from Nashville Tn. This is a player / collector instrument. Hal’s “Dobro” was manufactured back in 1974 / 1975 originally as a six string then he had it modified into an eight string dobro which he played for about twenty years before he sold it to my Father in the mid 1990’s. A letter of authentication included with the pics will provide the buyer with some history of this instrument!
