I have an '41 Epiphone Century 8 string and a '48 blonde Console Grande 8/7. I still want a Clinesmith and a 30's EH-150 7 string.

I love my National D8's and if I was looking for something else I would be afraid of buying it and it not coming up to the mark as far as playability and tone are concerned. Got myself a Ricky 8-10-8 and didn't like it so it just sits in it's case.

However a Remington stringmaster or an Excel Jerry Bird so long as it does not sound like a Fender. :whoa:
