National steel guitar serial numbers6/2/2023 ![]() I had a New Yorker from 1941 that had a "G" suffix. A few of the early ones had the letter at the END of the serial number. If the number is an "X" serial number then it is a 1955 steel.Īccording George Gruhn's book, all of the National/Valco lap steels had a letter in the serial number. It has colored roman numeral fret markers, the chimes-harp tone control, a metal National "badge" on the headstock and a screw-on connector.ĭoes 43890 seem like a valid serial number? According to the list of National serial numbers that was posted on this forum the "V" serial numbers only went up to V38000. I don't know a whole lot about National lap steels, but the ones I've seen had serial number with a letter and a number such as "V 12345". He said it is on a metal plate which clearly reads 43890 without any letter prefix. I was corresponding with a guitar dealer who has a National New Yorker for sale.
