"He used to play an old Dobro, used to play it 'cross his knee. I'd give ol' Curt my money, he'd play all day for me."

How to Build a Mailbox Dobro

This guitar was never built to be a gimmick. I made it simply because I wanted a steel bodied Dobro guitar, but couldn't afford one. Back in 1998, I was in the lowest point of my life: Lost marriage. Living in a tiny apartment. No TV. No...
