For sale is a 1935 National Duolian resonator guitar. This steel-bodied instrument is a great piece of American music history, delivering the unmistakable metallic bark and incredible projection that defined early blues and slide music.
 
Driven by its single-cone "biscuit" resonator design and classic rolled f-holes, this Duolian delivers a highly focused acoustic tone with exceptional volume. Whether you are playing traditional bottleneck slide or fingerstyle blues, it offers a raw, authentic voice that modern reproductions simply cannot replicate.

It shows cosmetic wear, finish scratching, and character consistent with a 90-year-old vintage instrument. Please review the photos for exact cosmetic condition.
