Hi Bill,
Hope all is well. The National G/S is coming along just great. I'm still learning how to work those sounds out of it, so I don't feel I can speak with to much authority at this point. What I can say is that the intonation is amazing regardless of which open tuning you use.
I love the set up/ action. I'm also very happy with the pick up system installed, great overdrive tones.
Overall the guitar is delivering some seriously good quality sounds - I have my work cut out just trying to measure up at this point , i guess thats the way it needs to be for a while. controlling/ working sustain, hammering , pull offs etc... Its very responsive, and I'm enjoying the journey.
With much appreciation for your patience and quality service!
