Lew, if it's only a hundred quid, just get it. You can't go wrong.
Your family won't mind going hungry for a few days. I've starved my kids many times so I could buy guitars. For a vintage National they'd be begging for food for many weeks.
Shine On

I agree with MM, sell the wife's shoes.
£100 for sounding and playing that good?
Buy it!
...and then talk to Neil at Newtone and get a set of Monel 12s with two plain 3rd strings.

Over such restricted audio bandwidth it's difficult to be objective, but it sounds really good to me, and at least as good as my Tacoma built Guild F512 which cost me eighteen times as much ...
So, for the cost of half a dozen packets of strings, why haven't you bought it yet?
OK, OK, I geddit- a firebrand on the home front!

Hey gang
Thanks for your words of wisdom, and just to say I took the plunge and put my name down on the waiting list for a Fraulini, and in the meantime bought the Epi 12'er. Hopefully by the time the former is ready I will have sold enough kidneys to pay for it and be good enough at playing to justify it...🤔😉🙊
**edit** I be dreaming!!! 🤣😫
Here's a quick video I did shortly after the first video, this time finger style in standard tuning. Don't let my serious 'look at my new lockdown chin' guitar face put you off or mislead, contrary to said big face, I'm really enjoying playing this guitar! Next up, learn Lead Belly's 'If It Wasn't For Dicky'.
@pickers Ditch.... remind me mate what Newtone string set did you recommend?
Cheers
Lew
