National Resophonic is making the El Trovador wood body reso again! I need a wood body and this may be the one I get. What do you guys think? I do love vintage Nationals but am also happy with my new NRP tricone. Maybe someone around here has an original El Trovador? I've heard these are the holy grail wood body for some.

Looks good, sinner, but I like the body shape of the M 2 better - whatever, the new National company is making some extrordinary guitars IMO.

NRP also is reissuing the National Style 0 14 fret originally made from '34 to '40 This model has a solid headstock that appeared around 1936/37, it also has etchings of palm trees and volcanoes around the sides. It's the same as the model Mark Knopfler plays. Should be an interesting addition to their fine line of instruments and I'd imagine a good seller.
