In pop culture, the instrument makes an appearance in the opening lines of Paul Simon's Graceland (album): "The Mississippi Delta was shining like a National guitar.

Some recent edits[edit]

I have the following problems with these edits:

How many employees? Almost 22 saounds silly; Does it mean 21?
Duplication. The lead already lists the types of instruments manufactured.
measured old national resonator instruments of all makes and models... I don't think so. Their models have included instruments never before made by National, and they're highly unlikely to have obtained one of every previous model to measure.
Various phrasing issues, and particularly it read a bit like an advert for their repair shop.

I hope this is all fixed now without losing any of the good content that was added, except the question of the number of employees, which should go back when we can find out how many there are. Andrewa (talk) 02:52, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
