Thank you very much for the info. You have just gave me more info than the owner found in a year of asking around. This helps out alot!!!
Would anyone know any details about the pickup construction. I imagine it was pretty cheap. Anyone have an image cause I might wind up winding a replacement and I would like to know what the cover looked like. Also do you have any idea what something like this might be worth? My first guess was mabye a couple hundred bucks but the owner belives it should be worth alot more.

Help Please. I am a luthier in North Carolina and have very little experience with Nationals. I have a regular customer who brought in his Buddy's old National Acoustic guitar. It is a very strange mix. It has a script national logo ( not the shield or inlay I am use to) Laminated body (the inside of the back is Figured?) Round sound hole( standard Acoustic) block inlays with rounded corners..... and last but not least an electromagnetic pickup with a volume and tone control on the top of the guitar( ah la Gibson/Lennon) The only numbers on this thing are FE 199 , NO 020, 72 B18. The guy that owns it thinks it was made in the 30's or 40's but the construction makes me guess at the 60's, the 50's at the earliest. The original pickup was removed and the owner wants to replace it. Of course he threw out the old pick up long ago, I can custom make a new one but would love to have an idea of what the original looks like. The owner describes a chrome cover and a solid polepeice instead of 6 individual ones. Am I barking up the wrong tree? is it a knock off? It wouldn't be the worst I have ever seen. Please help Any info will be great. sbjguitars@hotmail.com
