This ’55 National Debonaire is all original and with its original chipboard case! It’s in great shape! Sure there are some little scratches and such, but overall, the condition is excellent. It’s really just a beautiful guitar! The case is cool too. Kind of unusual for a chipboard. Serial number T45557.They call it a single, rounded cutaway, full depth 16 inch electric archtop with a single neck pickup, but it’s really somewhere between an archtop and a flattop, and IMHO, closer to a flattop! The top kind of slides upwards towards the pickup from the bridge, but that’s the way it was made, and it seems to fit, real nice!The guitar plays great. The set up is real nice. Straight neck, low action, sounds great! I couldn’t find another for sale here, and certainly not in this condition!
