  • A very cool vintage instrument, this National Style 1 has a silver triangular (pear) shaped body with a ribbed sieve coverplate, and a maple neck with an ebony fingerboard. It needs some work, so we’ve listed it AS-IS (reset neck, heat press neck and dress frets, etc.). Original hardshell case is included (newer handle, broken hinges). This resonator mandolin is in very good condition.
