Clippings: National Spanish Electric Ads (c.1940)

Check out that lusty National "Sonora" twin-pickup electric. For 1940, that's pretty "state of the art," as it were, in electric guitars. How do I get my hands on one of those?

And here's the more usual single-pickup archtop model one sees from time to time on eBay and the like and always in that killer natural blonde finish.

Both of these nice 1940 ad pages are, of course, courtesy the MTR archives.
