Thanks to National Guitars for the new Van Ghents! Awesome Customer Service!



At shows and performances many people ask about my guitar so here are some details. 
 
It is a National Estralita made in California in late 1999.   Below are some of the specs. 
There were similar ones made at the time out of poplar too, but I believe mine to be
all maple.  This model is not made anymore, they mainly now sell the Estralita Deluxe
made out of walnut.  This is probably one of the best sounding most enjoyable
guitars I've ever played and I always get positive comments not only its sound,
but its look too.  Life always seems to get better the more I play this guitar.

Harp

For harp nothing delivers the blues quite like the Hohner Special 20. 
With very little tweaking out of the box these harps really give you the sound you need 
while your singing and playing guitar at the same time.
