jedzep Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 (edited) A sweet, smooth sound, but I can't figure out what the sunburst six string electric the harmony singer is playing. Can anyone clue me in? Got it. '53 National Cosmopolitan 1122. Pics to follow...late for work. Edited September 16, 2021 by jedzep 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitefang Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Crossed my eyes almost permanently trying to spot that name. THEN I saw your claim at the bottom of your post! Can't wait for some of those pics. Whitefang 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitefang Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Interesting. I noticed on that same page of images were several AIRLINE( Montgomery Ward distributed) and "budget" axes like KAY and such. Apparently, National had a lot of imitators over the years. I've long thought they built resonators exclusively. Whitefang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
