The only change to this beautiful National New Yorker lap steel from 1947 is the tuner buttons.  We applied new ones as the originals had crumbled.

The instrument is quite clean, especially considering that it is nearly 80 years old.

This model is highly collectable, thanks to the cool art deco looks and the sound quality of the pickup.  

The original case is included.  The handle on the case has been changed, but the rest of it is in excellent condition.
