National Triolian Model Resophonic Guitar (1930), made in Los Angeles, California, Polychrome enamel with stenciling finish, steel body, basswood neck, black hard shell case.
Overall length is 39 1/2 in. (100.3 cm.), 14 1/4 in. (36.2 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 3 1/4 in. (8.3 cm.) in depth at side, taken at the end block. Scale length is 25 in. (635 mm.). Width of nut is 1 13/16 in. (46 mm.). A nice very early example, serial # 54P marks it as one of the first batch of Polychrome Triolians. A recent refret with original style wire, new nut, saddle and neck set make this a superb player. Nice original cone, biscuit (painted green!) and fancy embossed Waverly tuners. Some general wear, most noticeable on painted fingerboard and body edges. Finish has less flaking than many; no logo decal�in fact there's little indication one was ever there. A very good playing and sounding early single cone. Very Good + Condition.
