National New Yorker Hollow Body Electric

3/18/2015

Some have asked about using RoboTar with an Electric Guitar...  so I pulled out an old Vintage National New Yorker hollow body electric I've had since I was much younger... I believe it was my uncles and tried RoboTar with it...  which worked great!   

But this entry is more about the guitar...  It sounds pretty good and plays nicely but I have never been very graceful on an electric guitar.

But having it out made me start thinking about where it came from and how much it was worth.  I found some great information in a thread online here regarding National guitars and some experts that already had information about the dates for the serial number on the guitar.  Here is a link if you are curious:

It turns out it was made in 1956 in a Chicago factory and I found someone selling a similar 1959 version for nearly $1200!!

It suddenly sounds and feels much better than it did yesterday.  Uncle Jack, if you're reading this and you want it back, just let me know.  :)

For now, I'm building up a new repertoire of rockabilly riffs and 50's chords progressions.  Watch out Bill Haley, Reverend Horton Heat and Brian Setzer!   (ok, maybe I have a long road ahead!)
