ResoRocketN ResolectricSingleCone SingelCone

The ResoRocket is one of our newly designed single resonator guitars. This model incorporates a rede-signed coverplate pattern to complement the dis-tinctive Tricone-style grill work. The upper bout has been modified for easier access to the higher frets. This brass body guitar is highly polished and bright nickel plated. The maple neck has an engraved pearloid headstock overlay and mother-of-pearl dia-mond position markers.

Considered by most to be the loudest National Guitar produced, if you”re looking for a modern twist to an old time instrument your search is over.

Our Resolectric has gone through a few changes in its 19 years of production. The current model uses an audiophile-quality Highlander preamp to mix both the mag-netic and piezo elec-tric pickups. A Jason Lollar P-90 pickup sits in the neck position, and a Highlander pi-ezo transducer is fit-ted under the saddle. The output of each pickup is controlled by independent vol-ume knobs, with a master volume knob to control the instru-ment’s overall output level. A 3-way toggle switch selects which pickups are active. The solid mahogany body is capped with

a figured maple top bound in ivoroid. The figured ma-ple neck clears 14 frets to the body, highlighted with

a diamond inlaid, rosewood fret-

board.

M-1Tricone El TrovadorTricone SingelCone

Designed in collaboration with Mike Dowling, this

single cone guitar is patterned after the famous El Trovador

produced from 1932-1933. Similar to its

predecessor, our El Trovador guitar

features a large, 4” deep body constructed

of mahogany. The body is bound in

multilayer celluloid, with a matching

purfling border around the coverplate. A wood soundwell

houses the resonator. An ebony

fretboard is mated to a solid mahogany neck, capped with a

rosewood headstock overlay. The El

Trovador’s deep, unique voice has made it our most popular guitar in

recent years.

After years of research and development, National Reso-Phonic Guitars is proud to introduce to you our new wood-body M-1 Tricone! At nearly 3.3 lbs. lighter than its metal-body counterpart, this instrument features laminated mahogany body construction, highlighted by a sturdy wood soundwell and hand-painted steel cover- plate. The new M-1 combines the unmistakable sound of a Tricone with the warmth of a wood-body. Outfitted with our new-alloy cones and aluminum T-bridge, we believe this instrument to be quite versatile.

DUECO12FretSILVER

This is our classic, steel body guitar with a modern crystalline lacquer finish that replicates the “frosted Duco” used on Nationals from the 1930s. It is a traditionalnitrocellulose material and has the same basic characteristics as the nitrocellulose finishes used on fine wooden instruments. Irregularities in the surface are sometimes present due to the additives that form the crystals. These finishes will amber with age. It will also exhibit wear when confronted with metal finger picks and metal slides. So, treat this guitar with the same care that you would a fine instrument finished in nitrocellulose lacquer.
