I find it very interesting that nobody would ever claim that a First Act guitar with a setup, bone nut and saddle, and great strings is the equal of a D-28. Yet everybody who buys a Rogue, Regal, or Gretsch manages to find one that sounds as good as a National.
They also always manage to find friends and National owners who agree with them...
