What do you think about this one? The price seems right. Alas, I have no $$$.
1935 National Trojan VG+
Loud and Fat! Now this is a Guitar! These woodbodies are currently very undervalued, so make no mistake: this is a lot of vintage guitar for not a lot of money. The tone is even right across, with hugely powerful basses and round fat trebles, all tempered with the warmth of wood. The guitar plays well. It has suffered a less-than-perfect neck reset at another shop, and the heel has been cracked, but it is solid now and the action is great. The first five frets have been replaced. Otherwise, the guitar is all original, and has one of the nicest vintage cones I have seen. Note that this is not a Dobro, but a woodbodied National with a National-styled cone for blues playing. No case.
$1099 (US$875)
