And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Two pickups & six knobs? Silly. Unplayable and probably impossible to keep in tune, especially with that whammy bar. Makes for a nice wall hanging though...
National Glenwood Model 99 made in Chicago in 1962 - Snow White $4,837.45
Each pickup has its own tone and volume controls mounted above and below the string line, with a three-way selector on the upper bout. The sound of the magnetic units is quite powerful with typical National/Supro raunch, while the “Silversound” bridge pickup offers a very different tonality.
It is owned by a member of a high profile Aussie band, and has been set up & maintained by a professional support crew.
What's the rate of inflation since 1962? There has been about 922.49% total inflation since 1962. For example, $4,837 in 1962 is worth about 49,458 in today's dollars.
Goetz von Berlicihgen Here's a link to a Seafoam Blue version. What a beaut. Good details on construction. Enjpy! https://www.frettedamericana.com/product/1964-newport-84-map
Usually see those in red, like Bo Diddley's. Got the 'Gumby' headstock.
Dave - He's just saying that the top 3 round controls control the neck P/U and the bottom's control the rear (bridge) P/U. Bass, Treble Volume most likely. Body is fiberglass. May have some pine blocks/strips acting like rebar underneath the fiberglass. That $4k is current approximate value. A fair number have been made. Isn't there a Silvertone-branded version? Or am I thinking of Danelectro?
Definitely a custom fit case there. I can't make out the guitar brand.

ReplyDeleteIndividual controls for each pickup.
