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.

I wonder where it was actuall built? I hope I can get that much for my Electrum! -- Eugene lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 3088 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Friday, May 09, 2008 - 7:39 am:    Eugene: I'd give you that much for an Electrum in a heartbeat. I've seen Electrums go on ebay for almost double that.

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. elwoodblue Advanced Member Username: elwoodblue Post Number: 337 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Sunday, June 01, 2008 - 6:44 pm:    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.
