IMO the guitar I mentioned above in the last post above and listed on Ebay
hasn't one bid.
I'd think this would be a nice guitar. I have an old single cone reso so it would be redundent to me but I'd make a move on this if I didn't have mine.

The seller here seems on the up and would probably talk and give alot of info if you called him. This seller seems Ok.

Hey, this is still on topic right?

Its hard to be sure exactly whats going on there, but why does it have what looks like a pearl truss rod cover?? If somebody just put an inlay there, then its ok, but that guitar in original form would not have had a truss rod, unless this is some sort of reissue. Its still a good deal though if it is an old guitar, and as of this moment, has no bidders yet. For the price, the restoration is no biggie. A duolian would have had some sort of "Duco" (paint) finish, so the fact that its now nickel plated essentially makes this a steel bodied Style O, which is one of my all time favorite Nats.

(I think its overpriced if its a reissue, though)

I just saw this. Can't check the bay now. Will have to wait to get home.

Thanks for the heads up.

I'm looking forward to the NAMM show. I plan I checking out the Nat Steel Resorocket and steel cutaway Tri Cone
