Dobro Hound Dog Deluxe Round Neck

I'm so disappointed with the Dobro. I was deliberating between this and a similar Gretsch and opted for the Dobro because I already have numerous Gretsch's and wanted to try something else. Mistake! First off, the product sent to me is not exactly as shown here. The hand rest above the sound hole is attached with screws, not one piece as in the pics. (I mentioned this to Thomann and I note it has not been corrected). Furthermore, there were screws missing so it rattled. Apparently new screws will be sent to me but they've not arrived. Regardless of this, I can see that it will never fit flush and would always annoy me. I ordered a different plate to cover the soundhole as I would prefer it to be one piece and when I removed the one fitted by the manufacturer, I was shocked - the finish is so bad. There are extra holes drilled that don't need to be there - a problem with the fitting I guess, there is loose wood where things have not been sanded down or cleaned - it's incredibly disappointing. Because of these issues I carefully inspected the whole guitar and now I can see blemishes throughout. There's a dent in the mesh grill over one sound hole and the other holes are not finished as you would hope. My best guess is that it's a badly made guitar, that was probably returned. I've bought so many things from Thomann, and this has been by far and away the worst. I should have bought the Gretsch, and I shouldn't have risked buying it online from Thomann. The wonderful, historic, Dobro brand is not in good hands right now.
