Diablo Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 It is Mrs Diablo's birthday in a couple of weeks and she has serious GAS for a National Style O. My problem is I can never bring myself to buy modern copies of old models, I'd rather save and buy the real deal. Now if you talk National, then it has to be a Style-O, and if a Style O, then it has to be a mid 30's surely? Brothers In Arms is the over-riding desire here and that is not going to go away. So, I don't know that much about 6 strings, and even less about Nationals. What do I need to look for, where to buy, anyone got one for sale etc? There is one at Notom that I cannot get out of my head. I was there a fortnight ago and really liked it, but the price is perhaps on the sharp end of sharp? http://notomguitars.com/collections/resonators/products/1934-national-style-o It is actually up for £500 less in the shop, but I've struggled to find a reference to prices for these. Fender Bass guitars are quite numerous to find, but it seems not mid 30's National Style O's! Any advice, info or looks for/avoids most welcome. Cheers, Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
