A National Style 1 round-neck tricone resonator in excellent condition with a nickel-plated brass body finished to a high mirror shine. A stunning guitar with perfectly balanced string definition and tons of sustain. The longer scale length makes it an ideal candidate for lower non-standard tunings, and the wider nut and bridge string spacing facilitate slide and fingerstyle playing, though it can easily hold up to the attack of a pick, with headroom to spare. Cosmetic condition is excellent with only minor clouding in the highly reflective nickel plating, most notably on the bass-side lower bout where the arm crosses over. There is minor wear on the first five frets beneath the plain strings only -- but there's tons of life left in them yet. Includes original hard-shell case.
