Hello im a 1933 National el trovador owner and i am sending messages to the guys on here that have original El Trovadors and i thought it would be cool to document and try to get a number on how many of these beauties are still around.. Just to share stories on how we aquired them and maybe even start a website that people can go to and learn about these gems... Mine is a k462... Thanks.
@jleoblues - Hot Plate for sure. Great sound and easy to control. I don't have one but I am going to get one for my new El Trov for gigs - a lot easier to control in live environments.
Thank you for that quick reply. somebody is selling one. I saw a video and went on the site that National is making a 12 string version. Thats my fantasy instrument.
