Anyone familiar with the 1952 National "Harpmaster?"
Anyone care to offer an opinion on what would be a fair price? The dealer (he's reputable) is asking $795.00. |

If that was what I would pay in the UK I would buy it tomorrow. Not too sure about in the USA. _________________ MSA Classic 12 string Universal, Remington Steelmaster D8, National D8 Console x 2, George Boards Lap Steel, National New Yorker. |

It's a re-branded National Grand Console. At first I thought the letters were a later addition, but I think those unusual bridge/pickup assemblies were used on the English Electronics version; they usually called their steels Tonemasters, so it's possible this is one of theirs. |

Looks in super shape from pics. From what I have seen advertised in the states, the price seems good, if it plays good. Especially with the legs. Beautiful guitar Joe |

Norm English was a music store owner, teacher, and musician from Michigan. I think he had some instruments made by others for the English Electronics brand. |

Pretty guitar; kind of a Magnatone Lyric vibe. _________________ Steel Guitar Books! Website: www.volkmediabooks.com |
