Dream Guitars Player's Review:
"Superb recreation of the 1934 National, the German Silver body really has more warmth and punch as Al stated. It's hard to believe a metal guitar can sound so open, but this one does, it's great!" - Paul Heumiller

"This guitar has that warmth and punch that you just don't hear very often in a metal bodied guitar. The solid nickel body must be the trick. " - Al Petteway

Another Satisfied Dream Guitars Customer:
"

Paul, Thanks so such for your hospitality, your patience, and especially your knowledge as you helped me find exactly the right guitar. Your showroom is an amazing place, filled with one astonishing instrument after another.

I was having a blast, and then you handed me that one instrument whose quality astonished me most of all. The tone was exquisite and the workmanship impeccable. It was not possible not to buy this guitar, and I couldn't be happier. I'll be recommending Dream Guitars to any person on a quest for their guitar of a lifetime. Good luck, and keep up the good work!
