Something purporting to be a National on gumtree. Westcliff on sea. Have a look,see what you think!
Best wishes to you all, John

Seeing more and more of these ‘found in the attic, could be a ‘59 gold top’ ads. Sad thing is I think some people are loosing money over it.

It's a generic Shanghai-built guitar that looks to have been deliberately screwed around with to try and con someone.

I spoke to the previous seller quite a bit, offering advice etc, mainly as I wanted that slide attached to the headstock (durr) and he didn’t know anything about guitars and I don’t think he was a player so I think this is a new seller with a legit back story. Or maybe I’m being naive!
Could be a nice deal for someone...wait a sec, I don’t have one at the mo...🤔

Body looks a lot like my Regal RC-43...but the neck appears beefier.

Although the photos are different, the guitar strap has gone and the seller location is slightly different. It could go cheap just as long as members of the forum don't end up bidding against each other.

I've been watching this thread for a bit. It's now shown on eBay as sold for GBP 432.00 (Approx. US $549.74). I've been going through the photos of both listings and I'm not sure if it's the same guitar. The gumtree ad shows a logo on the headstock but the eBay listing avoids it. Oh well...

The very last picture on the eBay listing is of the headstock and logo, you can still view it.
