Hello,
I am the lucky new owner of a 2005 National Replicon single cone. The workmanship and sound are just amazing.
This particular instrument no longer has its matching case.
Can anyone tell me what case this instrument would have originally shipped in? Did they age the Replicon cases as well as the instrument? I would like to do my best to find a case that’s close to the original.
Thanks

NRP have used a few different cases over the years, some a little better than others. Probably just depends on what they are able to buy in. Some balanced better than others when carrying them.
They are the traditional looking wood construction cases. There are lots of similar cases on the market.
I have a spare NRP one but it is not much use as I am in Northern Ireland.
I wouldn't worry about the case too much, just gets what suits your needs.

Where are you based?
You could contact NRP and see what they advise.

I’m in Chicago.
I did contact NRP and so far no response.
Thanks

Here is a case from 2005 that would (most likely) be what your guitar came in. I have an '05 National & it came in a case with the same logo & blue lining.

I had a 2004 Delphi, that is the same case that I had with it. which BTW Great guitar, sounded like nothing else, be interested to hear the replicon. I sold mine to friend James Oliver who I believe still has it and has played it in many gigs and radio shows, check him out if you are ever in South Wales. I only sold it as I bought a 2 Beltona's. Can't justify having a three reso's in the house! |
