Here is an odd duck. I think it is a National N720 from the mid-60's, made by Gibson. A J200 flattop acoustic with a tune o matic bridge and a headstock logo of National. The seller either does not know what he has or is being deliberately obfuscating about it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-guitar- ... RTM2247625 Thought some of you might like to see this odd combination. Dave |

Gibson did make parts of or entire instruments in some cases for National, but I don't believe this particular one had anything made by Gibson. Looks all Chicago from here. |

Looks like a Yamaha neck transplant? |

Have to disagree about the Chicago provenance. Looks entirely Asian, probably Japanese judging by the vintage. Tiesco, Matsumoku, ? |

I haven't seen much in the way of National instruments of Asian production from this era, but the features do resemble Yamaha much closer than Kay, Harmony, or Regal. Main point though, it sure doesn't look like Kalamazoo. |
