    Description

    This is a 1932 Style "O" Single cone National Resonator! Im going to try and give the best description I can, National Decal on headstock is in VERY good condition. Tuners are original however the "G" string tuner was broken and glued back together (see pic) works fine. The nut has a shim underneath , The fretboard and neck are original...that being said, some of these frets are really worn and could use a replacement. Some notes fret out or "Buzz". The action is low enough for fingerstyle but high enough for slide playing. Currently this is strung with Ernie Ball Acoustic .11-.52's and I have it tuned to Open G. The neck feels so smooth and plays well too. The body is brass so is the cover plate. With the plate removed you can see even though this has screws attaching the plate, it IS in fact a "Hooks on" styled body. Two screws are missing from the plate. The cone is a 2018 National "Hot Rod" cone with a Republic wooden Biscuit. Sound is incredible ! I did include an uncut National biscuit that came with the hot rod cone. Case is also from republic, it is a soft/hard case. Please contact me with any questions before buying! thanks for looking!!
