  • Description: A clean example of National's Great Depression survival strategy. The low end Duolian quickly became the guitar of choice for may hillbilly and country blues musicians before WWII, and are sought today to recreate that sound. This example retains the luster of its bright-silver frost duco paint, original tuners and tailpiece. The cone is a NRP replacement. Scale length is ~ 25", the neck is ~ 1 7/8" at the nut, and measures ~ 2 1/4" at the saddle. The neck fit is a little funky at the body joint, as seen in the photo. The neck is very clean, the guitar plays fine and produces a nice loud resonator tone. Retains its original hard case.
