This 1931 National guitar is solid and plays sweet but not all original. It is set up slightly lower for fingerpicking but you can still play slide on it. It has a 1929 Stella neck with really nice Grover Snakewood tuners. Very nice feeling v-neck. Great blusey growl sound. If you are looking for a player guitar and not a museum ax........it sounds great. An all original Duolian,( I'm sure you've priced them) is getting up into the 3000.00 plus range. 907-347-7547 Location: Alaska it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests alaska
