Oh wow... I held one of these once. It has a magical sound. I remember once I was learning to play double bass, and we got together with some guys and played "In The Heartland" with two guitars and double bass, and one of the guitars was a National like this. Surely one of the nicest sounds out of a guitar I ever heard, and with slide, it just melts your heart straight away! Pity, it costs like an airplane, literally an airplane, so it's out of the question for 99% of people. Why a guitar like this costs so much? It's a metal pot! The only reason why it's so expensive is that Mark played one of these.

Beautiful, congrats!
I also can't afford a National right now, but I have a Michael Messer Lightning:

Yeah, it's quite a complex pun. You said "I am not a good guitarist", and I thought the only thing starting with "I am" you can write after getting this guitar is "I am a happy guy", hence the mistakes in this phrase. Never mind :lol

It's a beautiful guitar. I only have a cheap 500€ or so copy that just happens to look the same (minus National logo that is!). It's however really hard to play, strings are like suspension bridge cables. Only chance for me to get anything out of it is capo that lowers the action or just attack it with a slide. But I very rarely play anything anyway so my fingers are not battle hardened.

OOh, Shiny !
Definite guitar envy. I can't justify the price of a National so I make do with a £500 Vintage brand one which makes the right noises but is a beast to play.
The truss rod is fully loosened and there's no curvature at all in the neck, so it has buzzing issues with the capo on..
Lucky you. :clap

Wow, I was checking out the prices before Corona and I am 99% sure it was 4000 euros. Holy moly

I have one, too!

A beautiful, magnetic and iconic instrument. Enjoy! :)

Congrets on this beautiful guitar. :clap I've always loved the sound of this guitar, some kind of twinkling.
