Their album Boxer helped me when my mother passed away suddenly 2 yrs ago.Couldn't stop playing the album in my car stereo as I just drove around aimlessly through the streets of Dublin.This band will forever have a place in my heart.

One of the most emotionally devastating compositions i've ever heard. Art in its highest form. A million times thank you to The National for this. I'll be pre-ordering this album.

The National is just an all around amazing band. Lyrically and instrumentally their songs just seem to take me over. Also, i don't know very many bands, indie or mainstream, that can come out with so many songs, so consistently, that i just love. Name one "bad" National song...Saying that, Alligator and Boxer have many different aspects to them but i love alligator because of the way Matt Berninger gets so passionate. Sorry for being so wordy, what a great band. You forgot All the Wine...unreal.

older sheratons and riviera's had that tailpiece. it's called a frequensator tailpiece. they stopped putting that one the sheraton's when they became the "sheraton II" model. i'm going to say that aaron's is an original sheraton, or has had the frequensator added onto it. the headstock is the giveaway. either way, it's a nice guitar.
