Aloha folks, I'm looking for a National Silvo lapsteel, preferably in mainland Europe... Cosmetic condition is not so important, but the guitar should work properly. Thanks - I hope!

Aloha folks, I'm looking for a National Silvo lapsteel, preferably in mainland Europe... Cosmetic condition is not so important, but the guitar should work properly. Thanks - I hope! I hadn't seen this thread until now. Silvo instruments are beautiful and very desirable, and back in the old days I played a few and came close to buying one or two. The problem is that I have never seen one with the original electrics and pickup that sounds any good. They were not a successful product for National and even back then potential owners realised that they just look beautiful. For those who don't know, this is a National Silvo Hawaiian guitar Shine On Michael

Yeah, I've heard they're not great guitars, but I want one anyway because, to me, it's National's best looking instrument.
