Really?
I've had, I think, three dobros. The last one was given to me by a dying friend.
It was a Gibson made one, but still with the Dobro logo, a 1999 vintage, so it was built with the intonation 1/4 " out, and the cone sounded awful.
After he passed - I had it rebuilt with a Beard cone and a correcting Spider made by Beard to correct the Gibson errors.
I've only ever had two Nationals and never had issues with the cones but my current one has had a neck reset and a new biscuit/saddle (which I'd had in my parts box for ages).
