Hi Linkous,
Newtone are pure nickel too, the difference is they have a round core (unlike daddario hexagonal) and probably lower tension perhaps similar to EJ22. Michael will be probably of different opinion but I tried both and daddario won.
cheers

Hi,
Perhaps you could also try EPN22 - pure nickel. Wound strings have deeper stronger and warmer tone than just nickel plated steel ones imo, while giving slightly weaker signal from magnetic pickup, because of nickel. They also have higher tension (because of thicker core) - 86kg on 648mm scale compared to 80kg of steel EJ22. I cannot say how it would sound on steel reso, but I use them on brass body biscuit as well as on wood body spider and I'm happy with them. I swap 13 for 15 too.
cheers

Hello guys,
I'm not a lawyer too but I've read somewhere that name "National" cannot be protected as a brand name as it's considered as public domain in US, and probably in most english speaking countries. It's very likely reason why "Dobro" brand name has always been protected and had various owners during the time while "National" hasn't.
Michael has right that word dobro or its variants (dobry dobre dobra) meaning good or well is used in all slavic languages except russian.

Hi,
if you based out of Yurope perhaps it would be better to purchase the National Cone directly from US (e.g. Elderly.com, store.nationalguitars.com) where the price is slightly lower - Thomann has some import tax already included into price.

Hi Pete,
looks like Amistar, especially if you stated it doesn't sound well.

You can't expect to much bass from 51 string. Try 13-56 set.
cheers

Hi Gaucho,
try L.R.Baggs Anthem SL or L.R.Baggs Lyric. Both are internal microphone based, first one is combined with under saddle piezzo. They are not cheap - cost is around 200$ in US - but they worth.
cheers

Hi Dobropaul,
I experienced exactly same thing when used Microsoft IE version 10. So try different browser (e.g. chrome). It appears that Highlander's webpage is not optimised for IE well.

Hi Daddyslide/Robin,
what is the difference (in sound) between Flatbucker and Lace USA sensor. I've got Lace on my guitar and doesn't sound bad but I wouldn't say it is the real "humbucker" sound compared to e.g. Gibson '57. On the other hand Lace USA seems to me slightly microfonic - it adds a touch of acoustic sound to otherwise electric sound. And perhaps sounds better through acoustic amp.

Try www.daveking-acoustics.com - they claim they stock original National cones. I don't know if they ship, and what is the price. At elderly.com (U.S. based) National single cone (biscuit) costs 80USD + 10USD shipping + VAT upon delivery. I would'n expect that DaveKingAcoustic is cheaper. It definetely costs more than Continental cone but it worth as National cones are the best. Regarding Recording King - I also recommend you to replace nut with bone. Karlos
