    National CHICAGOAN 1949
    "Retro gem in both name and reality!"
    Made in 1949. 6-string lap steel made by Valco. The pearloid body, the retro design of the fingerboard with musical notes, as well as the pegs with covers and the output using a dedicated cable, are features not found in recent musical instruments.
    You can see dents, scratches, deterioration of the backing, rust on metal parts, etc., but it can be said that it is suitable for the model year. The bridge cover is missing. The volume and tone pots had deteriorated, so we replaced them with new ones. Also, it seems that the peg knob has been replaced.
    You can enjoy the withered tone peculiar to vintage steel. Originally a Hawaiian instrument, it is also recommended for driving and playing blues.
    The genuine cable is missing, but an adapter for using a general shielded cable is included. The attached case is a chip board case that seems to be genuine, but unfortunately it is not very practical due to damage.
    In addition, there is a full-time staff member who plays steel guitar. We also accept consultations on accessories necessary for tuning and playing. We will also perform a demonstration at the store. If you wish, please make a reservation in advance. Feel free to help yourself.
