“Very Good Condition “ National Princess (c. 1939-1940): The Princess was launched as a budget-friendly alternative to the New Yorker. It is characterized by its white "pearl-ette" finish and was one of the first models to feature National’s "string-through" pickup. This Princess with “Pearl-ette” finish, utilized a simplified tone control that provided less tonal variation but offered greater clarity than the New Yorker's multi-layered plastic-encased circuits. This guitar is all original including the preferred hard shell case.
