Some of you may have noticed Bobby got a new toy during the Spring 2001 tour.
It was custom made by Dobro specialist Richie Owens, and given to him just before Knoxville's show.
The "off-the-rack" version is Gibson OAI's DM33, which is available in 5 motifs.
The body is chromed brass.
This is a photo of the Gibson Original Acoustic Instruments (OAI) DM33 w/ Hawaiian Finish.
This is the back of a DM33 w/ Gator Finish.
I believe that, unmodified, this is the base for Bob's Custom Owens Dobro.
