National currently sells this guitar for $5600, plus tax. This is a steal. And there's a 14-month wait, I should mention.

I am the original owner. This guitar lives in it's beautiful humidified case, in a pet-free, no smoking home--and, this guitar has never left this home, either (except about three trips to the luthier, perhaps, for setups over the years). Never gigged, never taken out of the house. It's the real thing, my friend. Loud and brassy! There are Some tiny dots of tarnish under the bridge area (of course), but they don't even show up in the photos, so I'm being pretty wonky about it. No picking marks--no scuffs I just cleaned It with the best German polish and I have to say it’s a 9.5 out of 10

It has had a recent setup, and the cones were reset perfectly, as they should be (spent about $160 on that).

The National Standard 1 is built by hand in San Luis Obispo, California, USA
