Instruments for sale
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.

Dobro Guitar, 'Dobro-lite' (Fiddle edge, Round Neck).
Serial# None
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
Description:
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.

Guitar (Triolian, single cone).
Serial# 2356W/S649
Description:
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!
