I bought a D8 National Grande last year as a doer-upper and flogger as I am quite happy with the GB S-8 that I use for the limited sections of performing needed when not on guitar/synth .The problem now facing me however is that having fitted new nuts and fixed a strange production fault (one p/up cover was not clamped down on a corner and fouled the high string) I strung it up tuned it ,played it and fell instantly in love with the sound of those 1950 s/c pups
also the totem-pole fret boards in glorious colour , Oh' decisions ? they don't make 1950's guitars anymore so maybe a keeper.
