This guitar is in good condition with some normal play wear and few areas of cosmetic wear and dings. The most noticeable of these is a small patch on the back bottom side of the guitar where some of the paint has chipped away, there is also some finish that seems to be lifting off the wood at the neck joint from the neck having moved around in different climates. These are purely cosmetic and don't hinder the playability of the guitar.
It is currently setup and playing great, it is currently tuned to open E tuning. The original National Reso-Phonic case is included.
The NRP Steel features a steel body but instead of the painted finish of the “B” Series instruments, it boasts a rubbed nickel exterior that gives the guitar a deep, lovely sheen. Just like the original 1930s Nationals, it has flat-cut f-holes and a ribbed sieve-hole resonator coverplate. The Honduran mahogany neck with truss rod is topped by an ebony fingerboard and slotted headstock. And like the B Series NRP guitars, the tone is incomparable, echoing the tone of a vintage National.
