interesting regarding the adjustable bridge on the gibson ,as this months guitarist mag mentions the fact, that they indeed were fitted over a period of time to help intonation and height adjustment, but it compromised the sound quality to some extent.

hiya archie,
yes, it does have a truss rod and the adjustment cover is on the headstock end of the fretboard ,I sent a email to national guitars to find out which way to tighten / slacken because as I understood it, national were the opposite way about to other " standard " guitars , and according to reply they were not sure because around about that time, they brought nationals inline with the standard way like others.. with regards to the tuners, I did infact replace them a year or two back with a set ( recommended by snakehips )from stewmac the original set were not so good, kept slipping and sorry cannot do not recall the make, but they were open back tuners also...…….....hope that helps
regards

just a follow up...as I remember ( and that's quite dodgy these days ) the "10 bob ricky" was dark brown bakalite and the frets were molded into the neck, so maybe it wasn't a ricky, but for sure it was the same shape and appearance as one

Justregarding Michael's post re Rickenbacher Frying Pan . I worked with a guy who spent his earlier years working part time in a salesroom in Middlesbrough ... I believe he was the guy who held the sales items up when people were bidding, anyway. one auction had this Rickenbacher Frying Pan guitar complete with case that nobody appeared to be interested in all fantastic condition ( I know because he brought it into work one day )......PRICE PAYED AT AUCTION 10 shillings.............now that was a bargain
