Hi there !
I have a friend (yeah, no jokes !) who is having health issues, who feels now is the time to sell his guitars, as no family members are interested in them BUT they will be interested in the proceeds of the sale !).
I haven't physically seen him for a good number of years AND haven't seen his guitars either - but he phoned me asking for my help.
Guitars that might interest those here, are :
1937 National Style 97 - squareneck - but was re-necked by Mike Lewis, of Fine Resophonic guitars (so will likely be amazing !).
The original neck will be included.
1930(-ish) National Style O - he called it 1930, but also says it has Variation 4 etching pattern !
I don't yet have pictures - BUT hope to have them in the next few days.
My friend's health is such that he needs someone else to photograph the guitars for him.
He does know the value of these guitars, so the Style 97, for instance will likely only appeal to someone knowing the sort of money these would attract. I'm hoping Mike Lewis might be able to offer some insight into this guitar at some point.
He also has a 1920's Stella 12-String guitar (apparantly photo'd and coming from the Chinery collection), and a 1920's (or was it 1930's ?) Gibson L4 archtop acoustic, with round soundhole - I think he said he bought from Steve Philips (yes, him).
If anyone thinks they might be SERIOUSLY interested in any of these guitars (and he says he has others for sale), then PM me, and I'll pass on the contact details to my friend.
