1935 National Duolian Resonator Guitar:
$3300.00

This is a great guitar from 1935 with very nice action for finger style playing or you can raise the action for slide playing. It comes with a metal nut that fits over the bone nut to raise the action for slide playing. The serial number is C 8750. This guitar was owned by a slide player and so there is very little wear on the frets. Original green frosted duco finish with crystal like texture, original swirled resonator cone, original nut, original biscuit & saddle, original tailpiece & cover plate and original frets in very good condition. The machine heads appear to be replacements but they are of the period. This guitar sounds amazing! It is so loud and bright. The Duolians have a metal body and this one has no dents on it. The f-holes are rolled and the mahogany neck is 14 frets clear of body. The guitar plays very well and the action is just right for finger style playing. The neck has a very very slight bow but not as much as usually seen on these old nationals and not enough to affect the playability up the neck. The head stock has a professionally repaired crack at the top that is completely solid and strong and hard to really see. The crack was on the bass side top corner and did not extend farther that the d string machine head. A newer hard shell case is included with the guitar. I have owned several of these old Nationals and this one is the loudest I have ever played.
