The legendary National \"map\" guitar — and not just any map: the Glenwood 99 was the top of the line of National\/Valco's futuristic Res-O-Glas series, and the rarest and most luxurious electric National of this era. Built by Valco in Chicago from 1962 to 1965 only, and this is an early production example: the serial number T 71749 dates to late 1961 \/ early 1962, right when the model was introduced. Cool fact: Bob Dylan played a first-year Glenwood 99 of this same specification during his Rolling Thunder Revue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe body is molded from National's famous Res-O-Glas (fiberglass) in Snow White, shaped like the map of America, and it has aged into a beautiful creamy patina with fine lacquer checking — exactly the look you want on these. It's loaded with two original Vista-Power pickups plus the hidden Silver-Sound bridge transducer, each with separate volume and tone controls: from sharp and cutting to woody, almost acoustic tones. Deluxe pearl inlays, matching \"Gumby\" headstock, Grover Rotomatic tuners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe guitar is in beautiful condition for its age and all original: pickups, electronics and hardware are fully factory. The bridge plate was replaced at one point with a plate ordered directly from National in the US. Being fully honest, as always: the back of the neck shows signs of an old repair — done very well, a long time ago, and fully stable. It's part of the guitar's history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eComes in its original shaped National hardshell case with red plush lining. The case has clearly lived a life, but with a body shape like this an original shaped case is worth its weight in gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA true piece of American guitar history — collectors know how rarely these come up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eMore details:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSerial number: T 71749 (early production, late '61 \/ early '62)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMolded Res-O-Glas body in Snow White, \"map of America\" shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2x original Vista-Power pickups + Silver-Sound bridge transducer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparate volume and tone controls per pickup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeluxe pearl inlays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal Grover Rotomatic tuners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal knobs, pickguard and badge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplaced bridge plate (ordered from National), electronics and pickups fully original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOld, very well done repair on the back of the neck — stable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal shaped National hardshell case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Know Your Vintage Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54098412863835,"sku":null,"price":3800.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0397\/4476\/6111\/files\/National_Glenwood_1.jpg?v=1789600267","url":"https:\/\/knowyourvintageguitars.be\/products\/national-glenwood-99","provider":"Know Your Vintage Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
