National Resophonic Guitars Inc. must have a time machine, because they've found a way to make late '20s/early '30s guitars today! All models now have adjustable truss rods, and their metal and wood bodies excel in volume, tone and appearance. All acoustic instruments have spun aluminum resonators, nickel-plated brass tailpiece, and nickel-plated coverplates, unless otherwise noted. Each one is made by hand in San Luis Obispo, California. Prices include hard shell case.
