Style 3 ELECTRIC Don guitar.

Serial numbers X81 on the body & L10037 on the neck.

Our only logical explanation of this very rare & beautiful guitar
is that it was manufactured in 1934/35 as an acoustic square-neck guitar.

Sometime in 1938 ( as the Serial number L10037 suggests ) it was returned to
the National factory to be updated with the latest technology, "an electric pick-up"
and also fitted with a regular Spanish type neck
