Very nice, Roy. What year is the steel?

Very sharp axe, looks like it would be fun to jam out on.

Sounds great, Roy! I like the tone of your National Dynamic. I also like the hint of delay on the steel. You don't saturate your sound with reverb and that allows the delay to be heard and it's very effective (no pun!). Very solid rhythm guitar too. Thanks for posting the tune!

Great chops, I love that nice clean sound of your playing. Great intonation and tone.

I like it! 'Course it's a Leon Russell tune that George Benson covered but you probably knew that. Yours is a tone I aspire to.

Thanks very much everyone.

C.E. The little Dynamic is early fifties I was told?

Roy, is there a little metal plate on the back of the headstock with a number on it?
