1933 National Style O

Serial # S4678. From under a bed right here in Guelph, this guitar was found while itemizing the estate of the seller's great aunt. Nobody in the family knew of its existence, let alone that any one of their relatives was musically inclined! And so here it is; after a neck reset and a refret by us, in all its nearly unplayed glory! Aside from the frets, the guitar is completely original, with an un-scathed cone and biscuit. It now plays perfectly, and sounds, well... 70 years old, and incredible! Of note are the rolled f-holes - a particularly early example of a Style 0 with this feature. Nickel-plated brass body, 12 fret maple neck with ivoroid-bound ebonized maple fingerboard. Refretted with a radiused fingerboard for more comfortable playing, A shade wider than 1-3/4" nut, original three-on-a-plate tuners. The action is currently set at 6 to 8 64ths at the12th fret. This instrument is in remarkable condition in every respect.
You will be hard pressed to find another Style O in similar condition.
Original hard shell case included.
