Mark's famous National...

[Hophead]

Thanks for the interview piece ustas...and all the pics are fantastic!! I think I had heard somewhere that Mark's National is considered to be one of the most photographed guitars ever..wouldn't be a bit surprised. Isn't the Yorkshire Evening Post the same newspaper that Mark wrote concert reviews for?

[ustas]

There are also some Nationals on MK records which are played by Richard (All that matters, Stand up guy) or Sonny Landreth (Je suis desole)

Richard used National Triplate on All That Matters and Mark's National O on Stand Up Guy.

Sonny Landreth could use Beltona Electro Resonator given to him by Mark.

So no National on STP?  I know about the MfN live version, but that doesn't count in this thread! 

It is on STP. Listen to Junkie Doll, you can hear the (or a) National in the beginning. Starts at 0:07.

Hey, Lars, you are right! I was thinking about that song because it was the only one where I was not sure! Should have listened to it again then!
I think it sounds pretty much familiar with the usual National sound, so it is probably the famous one.

I might recall that you can see the 1935 Tricone in the background somewhere in the "a meeting in Halland Park" documentary.

All information helps!  Thanks.   Ustas and Jean-Franc,ois have good technical information which isn't available to a lot of folks.   and our resident experts--dusty, pottel, shangri-la, and allen, whereever the heck he is--and others always help a lot.  
Never worry about "good" or "bad" English.   Everyone is welcome here.  It's your ideas that count.
