video here http://www.cigarboxnation.com/video/1928-national-666-tri-cone-resonator-skull-mod1928 national tri cone reso serial number 0 666 . YUP, 666 !!!!!!!!!Ok .- heres the story , I got the empty national body on ebay a while ago ,It’s a true 28 national , and is serial #0 666 I though “hummm” I gotta do something cool with this WITHOUT ALTERING THE ORIGINAL BODY .” so , I figured these plastic chrome skull Harley / rat rod tail light covers would look great in there and match the 666 theme . turns out they are a great fit and actually reso pretty good too.I made the neck out of a 1x2 and a 2x2 , and it’s a thorough body . the thin fret board on-top is from a 1948 Gibson lap steel . scale is like 22 and a half .EVERYTHING I HAVE DONE CAN BE UNDONE . and you will still have an original 1928 national tri-cone reso nickel plated silver . body .. un molested (except it looks like someone made a bit larger end pin hole (most likely for an end pin jack and pick up at one time . as many have done . ( it’s under belt tailpiece now ) . I didn’t even clean this body .This is a cool one of a kind , 3 string , cigar box guitar type , LAP player as is . but you could also restore it to original .THIS RECORDING IS ACCUSTIC .. JUST USING A COMPUTER MIC , NO EFFECTS NO AMP , NO ALTERATIONS OR EDITING .Sorry folks these bodys aint cheap , so she’s goin on ebay with starting bid at $900.00Unless someone here makes an offer first . ;-) I won’t be listing it for a few days .Hope ya like her ;-)
