1932 National Duolian Grey/green

Serial# C4410 This 12 fret Duolian has seen plenty of action and still is wonderful, although the neck was broken many years ago it has been repaired honestly without any subterfuge and is rock solid. No dents or cracks on the body although the finish is mostly gone on the body. New cone and saddle. As most 12 frets are notoriously loud, this follows suit. Beat up and patinated, it is a proud warrior having travelled many miles at the very large hands of a country singer I bought it from who until recently was actively playing the county fair circuit in the Mississippi/Arkansas territories. His wife brought it to the Dallas Show and I paid her the fair amount her husband told her it was worth while all the other dealers were crowding around her trying to cheat her out of a fair return. A few years ago a giant of a man came over to me at the show, thanked me and shook my hand and told me of his successful operation my money had allowed. Sometimes it is a good thing to deal guitars with a little compassion.
