National/Dobro

Mark Helm · From: Tennessee, USA

How would you guys value a guitar like this (in fully functioning condt)?

I have only had one of these and it was about 5 years ago, so I have no idea what it might fetch. Maybe $700? More?

$700-900 depending on condition, case, and the number of strings seems to be the going range. I've seen asking prices over $1K but I don't think they're frequently selling for that. Same for the Dobro and National versions (and actually the Supro and Bronson too; they were originally cheaper but seem to be rarer).

I think $700 for either version in good condition would be a good deal. $1000 is more typical.

Need more information because Iâ€™m confused - what exactly is a â€œNational/Dobro?â€

There was originally a pic of a cast-aluminum Dobro steel.

Thanks - good to know Iâ€™m not losing my mind (just yet).
