A National Lap Steel
I have a chance to get an old National Lap steel from a guy who needs some quick cash, and was wondering if it might be a candidate for a make over? It has the guitar cord coming out of a hole on the side of steel? did they actually make it this way? the knobs are both there, it's 6 string and sounds kinda nice actually. If it's junk i won't even fool with it. But having the guitar cord coming out a hole in the side of this thing sends up a red flag. Now the cable looks really old like the guitar. It comes with a case which i'm sure is original. Can anyone tell me anything about it? is it worth messing with or not?

I will post pictures very soon of the national 6 string lap steel. It will look rough to you, but like i said, it might be a candidate for a make over job, and might make someone who knows how to do the work a very nice instrument. I will most likely just give it to one of you fella's for a promise to redo it, and play it.,..So i will get the pictures to you so....George
