Full disclosure: the overall condition is very good with only two slight dings on the top. There is no serial number and year printed on the label. Although this guitar has a good volume and tone. This is your chance to grab a piece of the Delta and make it yours.Up for sale is a vintage Japanese made Taka classical guitar with a brand new hard case(seen in the photos) There is a similar guitar currently listed. I can’t stress enough how incredible this resonator sounds! It’s currently setup for slide guitar, with open D tuning. Yes, there is a mark of a repositioned upper strap button (currently there’s no upper strap button). The guitar does have its wear, but you can see its very honest playwear. It plays wonderfully and does not need a neck reset. This is a round headstock, 12th fret Duolian, with the original biscuit and resonator (which sounds great and shows no breaks or tears). I’m guessing the guitar was probably refretted at some point.
The headstock retains the original finish.
The finish on the back of the neck seems to have been either worn down, or it has been sanded down a bit, but there is still original finish there (as the blacklight shows).
It probably worn off and somebody decided to cut a National emblem and glue it there, because the headstock finish is original, so it wasn’t refinished or even touched up. The guitar has a few mods: added pickup in the body, added jack and volume knob, Grover tuners and probably replaced headstock decal. It has an added single coil pickup (with a volume control) that sounds absolutely phenomenal, even better than the guitar unplugged, which is crazy. You’d probably be more than happy if you looked half this good ’n sexy at half that age :) The guitar oozes mojo, style, and tone. A 1937 National Duolian like this one will take you right back to the Mississippi Delta if you’re a slide guy, but man can it do the job in the RnR world. Folks, this is what the blues roots are made of.
