Incrediable warm sound. I was all set to buy the fretted model and picked up the frettless to plunk on while she (Salesperson) rang up the total bill. I fell in love. Great warm sound and I love the frettless whine. Also, the bass projects quite well along the lines of the Guild but without the bulk. I contacted Dobra and they only made a few of these in 1996. I guess they are moving thier plant from Calf. so no new production for a while, hence they are hard to find and Dobro does not take orders. Highly recommended. I also purchased a SWR California Blonde with the stereo input and the sound is incrediable.
