This is the cleanest body I have ever seen on one of these, with crisp engraving, nice plating and no major dents. The neck needs some work, however. There was a headstock break that looks to have been repaired well long ago. The neck itself is quite thick, with a pronounced V shape, typical of the era. It plays well on the first seven frets or so, above that there is buzzing because the action is too low and the neck has a hump as it joins the body. To play well up and down the neck, I would have fingerboard planed and refretted. It plays well with a bottleneck as-is.
It sounds great, with more sustain than the typical single-cone Nationals.
Comes with a newer hard case that fits it very well.
$1750 net to me, plus shipping. Not interested in trades, as I'm moving to a smaller place and am trying to reduce the instrument count.
