About This Listing

Vintage original 1951 National Model 1155 acoustic flattop.

Guitar plays and sounds fantastic with a classic warm vintage tone.

These were made with Gibson J-45 bodies from the 1950s and the guitar has the tone of a 1950s J-45. Warm sweet and organic.

Neck is nice and straight and plays well with a good action. Neck has been reset so it it's playing with a good neck angle. Guitar has also had the frets replaced which benefits the instrument and it's playability.

A few professionally repaired top cracks and one repaired back crack. Common on any acoustics of this age.

Comes with a good hard case.
