National / -Gibson 1155 J45 Style Sunburst / 1950 / Guitar

National 1155 by Gibson J45 Flattop Acoustic Guitar from 1950, made in Kalamazoo, Michigan. With sunburst lacquer finish, mahogany back and sides, spruce top; mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard, newer frets. When CMI, who had exclusive distribution rights for National/Valco, bought Gibson in early 1944, Gibson started building guitars for Valco up until 1961. These instruments were based upon the well known Gibson body styles, in this case the J-45 which became the N-45 which was renamed 1155. In 1949 Gibson stopped using the traditional dovetail neck joint, and National installed their own magnesium-core bolt-on neck called the "Stylist". The neck was held on by one large horizontal bolt and the fingerboard was held down by two screws onder the pearl dot markers, essentially the same construction as pre war resonators.  The FON in the body (5671 - 6) places this guitar in 1950 which is consistent with the Stylist neck. A very special, rare and great sounding instrument in excellent condition with no cracks or issues, beautiful weatherchecking and great playability. Includes newer hardshell case and built in piëzo pickup. Were selling this guitar in consignment.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
