Introduced in 1961 and produced thru 1963, the National "Studio 66" had an Art-Deco fiberglass body. The single cutaway Res-O-Glas body was tinted in desert white. The single pick-up has a shell-shaped pick-up cover and is controlled by single tone and volume knobs. The pick-guard has a very dramatic "Batwing-Shape" and is bolted directly to the body.
The painted neck is finished with a Rosewood fretboard, dot inlays and Kluson tuners. It has a Rosewood bridge with thumb wheel height adjustment and a trapeze tailpiece.
Today, these vintage National guitars are used by musicians like Neil Young, David Lindley or more recently Jack White.
