c1929 National Triolian Tenor Guitar (USA, Walnut, PBC)
Lovely little bit of history from when the Tenor guitar was a going concern..Bring it back I say.
Tuned in fifths, C D G A, playing it hurts your brain for a second, then it becomes second nature, and then, before you know it, you are writing, new interesting songs.
Anyways, this a a well played, and well worn in National Triolian.
Frets are still good, but the board has plenty of wear on it, as does the body.
Badge is missing from the headstock.
Gorgeous colour, and an absolutely amazing sounding instrument.
Real pleasure for us to have it in the shop on holiday at the moment, whilst waiting for its new home.
Made in the USA SN 1200 and comes with vintage pasteboard case with a textured alligator look...growl.
