Here’s a short clip of it with flatwound strings. ...

Flatwounds (after being played in a bit) sound full, round and feel very smooth under the...

Dying to see what she looks like!
Congrats on one of the best Kentucky models ever produced!

Boy he smoking those licks!

Do you think gypsy jazz strings with have enough tension to drive the cone on the National?
Would love a tenor guitar gathering in the Midwest

I just placed an order for a custom National Tenor guitar!
Specs will be maple neck w/ebony fretboard bound in cream binding
Mother of Pearl block inlays
Single cone
German Silver body
Where are these being made?
