National Dynamic Model Lap Steel Electric Guitar, c. 1948, made in Chicago, two tone green lacquer finish, black tolex original chipboard case.
A super stylish lap steel from the colorful just-postwar era at Valco, this National Dynamic is not only striking to look at but great-sounding as well.
The wooden body consists of two side sections with control knobs mounted on Lucite plates pegged to an elongated centerpiece carrying the pickup and strings. This guitar sports a host of other flashy looking touches, including a suptle 2-tone finish, a dramatic colorful geometric pattern fingerboard, tuners covered with oblong "National" stamped plates, and a metal pickup assembly mounted under a clear Lucite cover.
Beyond making a fantastic Deco visual statement, this National Dynamic has a singing sound to match!
Overall length is 32 in. (81.3 cm.), 6 1/4 in. (15.9 cm.) width, and 2 1/2 in. (6.4 cm.) deep. Scale length is 23 in. (584 mm.).
All original and excellent overall, including original Anphenol cable and case. Some paint wear on bottom edges. Otherwise, very little sign of use. Excellent + Condition.
