I'm proud to announce that in conjunction with Colin McCubbin's notecannons collection I will be offering for sale a variety of the more exotic resonator instruments from that collection over the next few months, as well a some of my own instruments. All the instruments I sell will have been carefully checked over by me and I will have done any repairs or setups that they require to put them into first class playing condition.
Instruments I have recently completed include two single cone Nationals, a Duolian and a Triolian, both are in excellent condition, the Duolian is as mint as I have seen in a very long time!
I recently completed set up on a Style 1 tricone guitar and a style 1 tricone tenor.

Hawaiian neck, the pictures don't do it justice. In all our catalogues I've never seen this particular sandblasted patern, it must be really rare!

An extraordinarily rare Dobro, especially in this condition. The few of these that we have seen in the past have lost most of their paint, but this one has 99% of it's paint cover intact. There is a small dent in the bass bout, and a pick scratch on the coverplate, see pics, but apart from that it is as clean as you can hope for.
Dobros don't normally have a neck stick that travels under the cone, but the fiddle edge instruments like this one did, they had a shallower cone well and a cone with lugs inside the cone to allow the cone to sit higher.

With 2 serial numbers (S649 on the body and 2356W on the headstock), this is almost certainly a style O body with some sort of factory blemish that was then finished with paint as a Triolian. Paint is 99.9% intact, and it is as clean as I've ever seen. Could have left the factory last week!
