Hello!
I've got this dobro guitar, and I'm having a trouble with identyfying it properly. Serial number is B7 195 96 - so is it a OMI Dobro from 96? From what I can see searching through some old catalogues it looks like its a Duolian Model 90 - am I right?
Thanks in advance, cheers,
Mateusz

It is definitely a Model 90 from 1996. Link below to a mid '90s OMI/Dobro/Gibson catalog. After taking over Dobro in 1993 with Mike Replogle appointed by Gibson as GM, this guitar is from the second to final year of production in Huntington Beach. Gibson shut down the operation in 1997, moved it to Nashville where production resumed in 1998.
