I've been watching this one. So far I've found no information anywhere about a "Dobro E3" electric. Those don't look like neck lams to me, rather they look like decals or paint - purely cosmetic - though I agree it looks cool. The price, however, is quickly heading north of reasonable absent any further info on this guitar. Bill, tgo |

The winning bid was $1,160.00. I wonder where it was actuall built? I hope I can get that much for my Electrum! -- Eugene |

Eugene: I'd give you that much for an Electrum in a heartbeat. I've seen Electrums go on ebay for almost double that. Bill, tgo |

I did a bit of searching and E. Carl has no website and endorses only one person, 8 year old prodigy Tallan "T-Man" Latz. So, I wonder if it is a Warmoth or other kit bass? Of course, that is just conjecture. But Warmoth does make some gorgeous tops for their guitars. |

I checked his other auctions and it seems he and maybe a friend are producing some handmade basses and guitars...there's an interesting fretless here...if ya put a bird tailpiece on her the lines would really work. |
