Vintage 1960’s Sekova Bison Electric Guitar Below: As you can see, we got our walls painted the other day, hope you like it! Anyway, on the left is an AWESOME Kawai Bass. This baby looks, feels, plays like no other Bass from its time. REALLY well made, big and heavy (the picture scale looks small but this is bigger than a Fender Precision).
Valuing it would be hard without seeing it, but if you could range it. Loved your pictures and in-site above. I do believe it is a 1966, my best guess. I have (and cherish) a1957 Fender Duo-Sonic, that was “willed” to me by a very dear friend who passed on a few years ago. I’ve been aquainted with this guitat since 1965. The 3/4 scale fits me to a “T”. I’m a short fella, as are my extremities.

From 1978 to 1982, Carter's background brought him success as a reporter on the Nashville music scene. This led to his first book, The Oak Ridge Boys: Our Story, published in 1966. From 1988 to 1992, he was a writer and researcher for Gruhn Guitars, completing Gruhn's Guide to Vintage Guitars in 1990. He then joined the Gibson Guitar Corporation as a historian and researched and wrote Gibson Guitars: One Hundred Years of an American Icon.

Beyond that, all the Tricone models are collectable, with the fancier styles 2,3 and 4 (all engraved) being more collectible than the plain style 1 Tricone. Be aware that almost all Tricone models came with either a 'squareneck' or a 'roundneck' (and the necks are not interchangable). This refers to the shape of the back of the neck. Squareneck models can not be played like a standard guitar.

I recommend getting Elixir Nanoweb light gauge strings and I also recommend that you get a teacher. • Tell us some more • Upload in Progress • Upload failed.

Chrysanthemum engraving, diamond shaped fingerboard inlays, some with ebony peghead veneer and pearl logo, some with celluloid peghead veneer and engraved logo. Clear pickguard added 1936.
They just look and feel new, especially the necks. • Truss Rods: New Nationals all have adjustable truss rods. I know, this is technically good; the original models had either no truss rod, or a non-adjustable truss rod. But I'm sorry, seeing a truss rod on new Nationals just isn't right (call me a purist). • 14 Frets Clear: You can't buy a new National metal body resonator model with 14 frets clear of the body.
Serial Number Plates 1940-1964. Beginning in 1940, National/Valco serial numbers were on a small oblong metal plate (brass or aluminum). This plate was tacked to the back of the neck with two small brass nails. The following serial numbers apply to all Valco-made National instruments, including lapsteels and guitars. These plates were also put on amplifiers. All Valco-made instruments were numbered this way till 1964.

It's hard to believe that it sounds really good for plywood. I can't believe I just said that.

Here's a link to a pic of what the guitar looks like but with the 'airline' logo on the head. It is also of course a different color and such but the head is pointed just like on this one. Funny, it's usually the top string that breaks first. I bet when you say 'bottom string' you're referring to the top (thinnest) string. That's actually called the top string since it's the highest frequency. The first strings you list are for classical guitars and you have a steel string guitar. You can't use nylon strings on a steel string guitar.
They are only usable for Hawaiian or Country styles. Hence the roundneck Tricones are more versatile instruments. Squareneck tricone models are still sought by some Hawaiian-style players.

As mentioned above, vintage National resonators aren't for everyone. Vintage Nationals are peculiar, and you have to know what to look for. NEW National resonators have become very popular. They have adjustable necks and sound great. One of the best sounding new National is the 'polychrome' tricones. With a steel body and three resonators, these are great guitars.
• Resonator cover with four embossed radiating lines added. • Square mahogany neck available. • Back scene has one palm tree. Late 1934 Style O specs: • 14 frets clear of the smaller body. • 10 inch fingerboard radius. • Diamond shape resonator cover cutouts shaped like 'crow feet' (though the 1933 style cover plate is also used till 1936).
This makes the neck feel significantly different than vintage Nationals with extremely thin lacquer finishes. Also the reissues have a flatter neck profile, unlike the 'baseball bat' vintage neck profiles and 'V' neck profiles. • Body Finish: National today can not recreate the original 'Frosted Duco' vintage National Duolian finish. This finish style formula was patented in the 1930's, and has apparently been lost.
Clear pickguard added 1936. Available 1928-1940. Collectibility Rating: Squareneck: C, Roundneck: A. Style 35: Known as the 'Lute Player' model. Brass body with nickel plating, back sand blasted etching of Renaissance musician under willow tree, palm trees sand blasted on front and sides, airbrushed enamel coloring over sand blasting, maple neck, bound ebonoid fingerboard on squareneck model, bound rosewood fingerboard on roundneck model, dot fingerboard inlays, solid peghead. Enamel coloring discontinued 1939.
Also the 1932 to 1932 vintage Style N is right up there too (essentially the same guitar but with a 12 fret neck). Of course this is the real world, and money and rarity DO matter.
We have an airline archtop acoustic guitar that we were told was a 1964 but we cannot find record of any 1964's being sold. On the inside it has a serial number of L1508 and in other parts it says P-5 and N-5 were not sure if this tells us the year and if so I cannot find any airlines matching that serial.

Collectibility Rating: Squareneck: C-, Roundneck: B- (a brass body makes for a lower rating). Introduced in 1937, this plain nickel plated brass body model has a square neck (Hawaiian). By 1942 the body is no long nickel plated but is instead painted with a oak looking wood grain finish. Discontinued by 1943.
The tuner's are little sloppy. I will be taking it to Hoffman's to get an another opinions. The guys down there have always been honest with me. I know that it will not be worth very much no matter what I do to it. But I like the sound of it, it's a different style to what I have in my Seagull MJ SWS. It will be something that I can take to a campfire and not have to worry about it.
Next to that is a nice Silvertone Mosrite with slider controls. You can see the inspiration for the in many of these guitars. Interesting because it as an indiviual slider volume for each pickup, so you can dial in an unlimited variety of tones. A 1965 Hofner Galaxie. An early 1960’s Vivona which was made by EKO, and a wee Hi-Tone.
With that in mind, nothing can beat the a vintage 1929 to 1940 Duolian. At $500 to $1500 (depending on condition, originality and playability), not much can beat these. I personally like the 1934 to 1935 vintage Duolians with 14 fret necks and open pegheads. But vintage Nationals aren't for everyone. You have to be careful when buying one, especially the low-cost Duolians. Warped necks and bad neck sets are common, and expensive to repair. A warped neck on a Duolian will require the fingerboard to be removed, the neck straightened, a truss rod installed, the fingerboard re-attached, a fret job, and the neck re-set.

Vintage National Tenor Guitars: though these 4 string tenor guitars are pretty to look at, they are fairly useless as instruments today. Tenors were marketed during the late 1920s and 1930s to get banjo players to convert to (the increasingly popular) guitar.
By 1929, this model converted to a metal body instrument. The very first wood body Triolians had a tricone resonator system. Less than 10 of these examples were produced. Contoh soal bahasa inggris. Much like the metal body version, the wood body Triolian has a single cone resonator, round shoulder, upper F-holes, bound single layer fingerboard, dot fingerboard inlays, 12 frets clear of the body. Collectibility Rating: Roundneck: D (the earliest single cone, but not too many collectors want wood body Nationals). Maple veneer body probably made by Harmony, lyre-shaped holes in upper body, trapeze tailpiece, bound top and back, 14 frets clear of the body, ebonized fingerboard, dot fingerboard inlays, slotted peghead, 2-tone mahogany finish, round or square neck.
National made two types of resonator instruments: tricone and single cone models. Tricone instruments have a very sweet and warm tone.
In 1943 the remaining stock holders of National-Dobro were bought out by Vic Smith, Al Frost, and Louis Dopyera, who formed the Valco Manufacturing Corporation (Valco is an acronym for Vic, Al, and Louis). When the War ended, Valco re-vested itself into the musical instrument industry and built instruments and amplifiers throughout the 40s, 50s and most of the 1960s. At the same time WW2 brought a similar fate to Gibson's factory, where as much as 90% of that company's production went toward the war-effort.

Detailing thousands of models by every major manufacturer, the book now includes expanded coverage of Martin, Guild, Mosrite, Dobro, Gibson banjos, Fender amps, Gibson amps, plus updates on the latest models from Fender, Gibson, Rickenbacker, and others since 1990.
The pearloid-and-abalone fingerboard inlay used on the Glenwoods is what Valco called its 'butterfly pearl' pattern. The 'standard' pickups on these models have a midrangey throaty sound, well-suited to slide playing. The models with a built-into-the-bridge pickup, have a bluesier, twangy sound with more treble. This bridge pickup is close to a Fender sound, but without the sustain. Buying a Vintage National Resophonic. Lots of people ask for advice when buying a vintage National resonator.

There were 6 different variations in the sand blasted Hawaiian scene, and 8 total Style O variations if you include body changes.
1933 Duolian specs: • Rolled edge F-holes. • Square neck available special order. Late 1934 Duolian specs: • 14 frets clear of the smaller body. • Basswood neck replaces mahogany.
I don't recall if even the fanciest versions got much north of there. (Even if they did, I wouldn't have paid much attention, since that would've been way more than my allowance and lawn mowing money would allow.) Still, those are 50-year-old dollars we're talking about, and we haven't seen photos yet.
