I think it's the fact that there are many extant photos of blues players holding/playing Nationals, and few or none who play Dobros. And the folks who want Dobros, want the square neck 'bluegrass' Dobro. And, those who want Dobros, want the Dobro decal on the headstock. And, in the past decade or so, National Resophonic has retooled the old National equipment and produces new-made resonators at half to a third the cost of old ones, and they set-up and play like a modern instrument, but retain the sound, for the most part, of the old ones. ...and so it goes... We have a really hard time selling any resonators, unless they're really priced low.
Your looks really sweet, is the action good? Tom
