The Lebeda Square Neck Resonator Guitar is an excellent value in this price range. This hand built instrument is beautiful, effortless to play, and produces a very clear, bell like, authentic Dobro tone quality. It compares very favorably in quality and tone with much higher priced dobros and resonator guitars. Interestingly, this instrument is hand built by Jiri Lebeda in the birthplace of the Dopyera brothers, who invented the original Dobros. The overall design follows the original 1920s Dobros design, but with a few changes more in keeping with top of the line resonator guitars being built in the 21st century.

The body is of birch, while the back and sides are of solid maple. The fingerboard is rosewood. Each instrument has a beautiful dark burst finish and is bound with ivoroid binding. The cone is a Dobro-style cone with a spider bridge assembly made by Jiri Lebeda. The sound quality is very true to that of the original dobro tone. Lebeda previously used the Quarterman Cone, but now spins his own cone, which is a stronger alloy and thinner for more volume. A Quarterman cone is interchangeable. Geared individual metal tuners are installed in a headstock which includes the Lebeda Logo. The neck includes an adjustable truss rod which is accessible from the headstock. There is no sound well inside the Lebeda. In this way, the construction is similar to the Scheerhorn Resonator Square Neck, which is one of the top of the line square necks made today, using sound posts, instead. The top has an extra layer of laminate around the cone for support.

Overall, this is a well constructed, excellent playing resonator guitar with a really good sound. It compares favorably with some of the best resonator guitars made today, and which sell for much more. The Lebeda Resonator Guitar has good volume, a rich bass and a very sweet tone up the neck. At this price, this hand crafted resonator guitar it is excellent!
