This is a 1931 National Style O resonator guitar — with the sandblast palm trees and whatnot — that I worked on back in 2015. It’s been kept well by its owner and arrived back here almost the same way it left, though I did do a little tidying-up and set it back up for fingerpicking rather than slide-level string height. It’s got an original National cone under the hood but it’s not the one it was built with. The biscuit is replaced and the tuners are period but not original. The fretboard actually is original but I had to plane it before refretting the last time around and so the ebonized/painted-black surface gave way to the maple underneath. I liked it so I left it, but it could always be “ebonized” again. This guitar is loud, ballsy, straight-up, and powerful. It’s got a great “honk” to it and the body is in pretty dang-good shape all things considered. It’s good to go and plays spot-on.
