National / Airline Folkstar Res-O-Glass Black / 1964 / Guitar For Sale

Introduced in the early 1960s, the Folkstar resonator was designed as a more affordable and accessible option within National’s lineup, appealing to folk and blues musicians. Its fiberglass body, then branded as "Res-O-Glass," was a revolutionary material that offered durability and resonance without the higher costs of wood or metal. National, already famous for their metal-bodied resonators and early electric guitars, continued to push boundaries with instruments like the Folkstar, which encapsulated the era’s experimental spirit. This particular Folkstar is a visual and auditory delight. The glossy black finish, cream accents, and biscuit bridge speak to the bold aesthetics of the 1960s, while the mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard provide a warm and tactile playing experience. Personally, I admire how the design captures the industrial-modern ethos of its time—elegant yet daring, with a touch of retro charm. Sonically, the Folkstar is as versatile as it is stylish. The fiberglass body, paired with the biscuit bridge, produces a unique voice: loud, resonant, and warm, with plenty of sustain for slide playing and a responsive tone for fingerpicking. The crowned frets and new nut ensure modern playability while retaining the instrument’s vintage character. Traveling in its original chipboard case with blue lining, this 1964 National Airline Folkstar is more than a guitar; it’s a piece of history. Whether you’re a collector seeking a rare gem or a musician searching for a distinct sound and style, this guitar is ready to bring its unique personality to your repertoire.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
