This 1934 National Duolian Resonator has been well cared for over the last 90 plus years and has received a few updates to ensure that it continues to play for the next hundred. It's been replated and has received a new nut and refret as well as an added National Slimline pickup. We believe the neck and body were initially from two different guitars, and this guitar has a couple of small holes where there had previously been a volume pot and output jack. It has gone through quite a few transformations, but is still in great shape and ready to keep making music for years to come.
Freshly inspected and set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech. In Very Good Vintage condition with normal wear for an instrument of this age, including scratches and other signs of normal handling and use. See below for more details and specifications.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:
We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings. Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing.
We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us to ask any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
