National New Yorker Lap Steel GuitarArt Deco Style.National New Yorker, circa 1950The 1949-1954 Models of New Yorker are my favorites. They have what I consider their best vintage pickup. A fat wide humbucker with, (of course), fat wide sound. They also have a cool style and feel. Colorful, tasteful with great features. Tuners have the cool cover with the embossed National shield emblem on each strip. As with many vintage Valco-made instruments of that era, this came with a screw-on Amphenol connector. We replaced this with a standard 1/4" jack. The case is also in good solid condition.This guitar came in without a fretboard, the volume and tone pots were disconnected and the tuner buttons were crumbled. We rebuilt the pickup, rewired everything, & replaced the capacitor. It now has a new fretboard, good electronics and new tuner buttons. Now that it's been upgraded, it’s in good shape; plays and sounds great. Ready to entertain several more generations..*Please see our other listings and store for many other Vintage (Lap Steel) Guitars and Amplifiers.
