My son came across this vintage National lap steel in a thrift shop where he lives. He sent me a picture, and I haven't been able to determine the model or year doing image searches. Anybody recognize it? I know it's not reso, but it's related, so thought I'd give it a try.

New Yorker of some vintage?

The body design is similar to the New Yorker, but the tone and volume knobs are in the wrong place, and that logo on the headstock I've never seen before. Thanks for the reply.

I would guess that it's some sort of "home brew" job. I have never seen a National logo like that either, it's awfully strange that there are no fret markers, and the humbucker pickup isn't something you would ever see on an old National, at least not as original equipment. 



Maybe weirdest of all - what is going on with the location of the tuning machines?  surprise

I agree that it's some sort of home brew hybrid. I own a National New Yorker and the similarities to this end pretty quickly with the tuners, knobs, no fret board markers and the pick up.

It's a Newark?

All that said, it could be a cool guitar for the right price.
