National Estralita Deluxe For Sale

[guy2001]

I have a Natioal Estralita Deluxe for sale - 12 Fret - with its original case, was purchased from Frailers in Runcorn. It's around ten years old and in really good shape in spite of my using it at many of my live shows over that time, a little discolouration on the sieve plate from contact with sweaty hands. It was fitted with a Higlander pickup by the lady at Dave King Acoustics - however the on board pre-amp later failed, so the pickup is still in place on the biscuit but is now wired straight to the output jack. All you need is an outboard pre-amp of your choice and you are good to go (I've been using the excellent one from Orchid Electronics). The top has a semi gloss finish and is beautifully figured. If you are anywhere near London N4 I'd be happy for you to come and check it out. Please see the pictures attached, and if you have any questions just ask. The Price is £2900.

So, I'm not the only one who had Highlander preamps fail then ? !!
The pickup itself is still excellent though, with a good acoustic guitar preamp.
I use an Orchid Electronics Acoustic Preamp too. Great stuff !

Well, snakehips, you may not remember, but I got the idea from you after posting my issue with the Highlander on these boards! It was good advice.

I thought the coincidence was maybe too good to be true !
