![]() She looks really cool & full of mojo now in her true reliced state. We had the option to either have her bead-blasted & completely refinished from head to toe, or to simply remove any progressive oxidation & machine wax her to prevent any further progression! We chose the latter & very glad we did, as we’ve since learnt that the Duco Frost finish is a very rare type of finish and much sought after! Also missing was the “National Duolian” decal from the peghead, but we decided to keep it all original & left it off, rather than replace it with a new waterslide. ![]() This old gal had been left alone in a garage for over 50 years when we rescued her & the Duco Frost finished body had suffered from some considerable oxidation, but was totally sound, as was the neck & all parts including the original spun cone & biscuit bridge. The serial number is on the top edge of the headstock and is 5439 & the Patent numbers are 1762617 / 1741458. ![]() Here we have a really lovely, early Duolian 14 fret steel bodied round (V) neck guitar.
